...that "Trust me" is no longer a viable political strategy. That's because nervous Republicans don't--at least not when their futures are at stake. With Bush's bungling of the ports controversy, they are starting to say privately that they cannot afford to risk their fate on the agenda and instincts of an unpopular President who never has to face the voters again. What began months ago as a routine government-approval process for a business deal--in this case, one made politically radioactive by the fact that it would allow an Arab-government-owned company to manage...
...tomorrow night, the Harvard men’s hockey team will know its ECAC postseason fate. With just two games left to play for every squad, the league postseason picture is still foggy at best, and the Crimson could end up anywhere from the top of the pack to eighth in the 12-team standings. But one thing is certain: if Harvard sweeps this weekend’s home contests against St. Lawrence and Clarkson, it will finish fourth at worst.

Four writers from The Crimson receive passports to this bizarre universe for one week, as they follow seven participants to understand Harvard’s biannual Common Casting process (see sidebar).

While the Chinese were fully entitled to enforce their anti-opium edicts, it was something else entirely...
...locked in a tight 3-3 contest with just over ten minutes left in regulation, according to the scoreboard as we walked in. Now this is a very important live sports lesson: only visit the restrooms between innings, halves, periods, or sets. You might miss something. Such was my fate as I found bladder relief before my seat; from the sound of the band striking up the fight song as I stood stationed at the urinal I knew the Crimson had potted a go-ahead goal. Something told me, though, that that wouldn?...
