...being wrong. The owner since 1977 of Cody's Books, a Berkeley, Calif., institution that was tear-gassed in the '60s and bombed in 1989 in response to its commitment to sell Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses, Ross has spent the past three years in the red. Rather than follow the Meg Ryan route (in the 1998 movie You've Got Mail, Ryan's character closes her cozy kids' bookstore, unable to compete with the chain around the corner), Ross decided to fight back...
...White House, which ordered aides with security clearances to attend hourlong "refresher lectures" on ethics this week, says no such discussions have begun. But people who know Bush well tell TIME that he may follow the example of previous Presidents who have used the end of their terms to pardon loyalists who ran afoul of the law while doing political battle.

More important, those same people testify to Alito's methodical, open-minded approach to deciding cases, one free of dogma and much passion, for that matter. Not only is Alito very careful to follow existing precedent--as he did in invalidating a statute restricting late-term abortions that didn't include an exception for the health of the mother--but he has also shown he is capable of seeing two sides of any case. "It's very clear that in engaging cases he wouldn...
...long downfield, and right into sophomore cornerback Doug Hewlett—tied for second in the Ivies in interceptions—who eked three more yards out of the return. This time the Harvard offense didn’t capitalize on the opportunity, punting nine plays later.Trailing 21-0 following a touchdown pass from O’Hagan to freshman wide receiver Alex Breaux, Columbia squandered yet another opportunity. Backed up by penalties for holding on the kickoff and false start on the first play, Columbia lined up on the four-yard line. Hormann came under pressure, and again...
