...fact that the rankings change each year is proof that this isn't an accurate measurement," says Justin Harman, director of communications at Princeton. Princeton dropped from a first-place tie with Harvard last year into a fourth-place tie with Yale this year...
...debate is likely to get lost on the consumer. "You can call it what you want," says Paul Harman, a Georgia accountant who complained to the FCC after his company noticed the charge. "It's just another form of taxation. The consumer pays in the end." Lawmakers have begun to hear similar complaints.

She entered the race late because she saw an opening after Feinstein decided...
Davis is gambling that there are enough voters like Perez left in California for a poor man to win at a plutocrat's game. If he prevails, Harman and Checchi--like Michael Huffington, the state's failed millionaire Senate candidate of 1994--will have learned that California campaigns aren't so virtual after...
