Please, Mr. Klein, we finally have in Obama the grownup we've been missing for the past eight years. Grill him like one!

The Navy has blamed Northrop Grumman for poor work; the company has blamed the Navy for a constantly changing design, as well as Hurricane Katrina, which hit the Gulf yards in which the ship was built...
...junior concentrator, she can decide whether or not she wishes to finish the concentration through the old requirements or through one of the new tracks. While she said that she is happy that she now has so many choices within one concentration, she is also upset that now that students can choose not to write theses. The History and Science concentration depends on scholarship, she said, and the thesis is an instrumental part of the learning experience...
