...expedition was the second campaign trip the Dems have organized this year. Twenty-nine students, including three Harvard Law students, spent the day convincing voters to support their candidate. Students volunteered for the campaigns of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), former Sen. John Edwards, and Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.). Several students campaigned against New Hampshire Sen. John E. Sununu, a Republican. Jeanne Shaheen, the former director of the Institute of Politics, will seek Sununu’s senate seat in 2008. The campaigners were split almost evenly between the Clinton and Obama...
...rest of the season.” Williams has become a right-place-at-the-right-time kind of guy. In last weekend’s win over Lafayette he was the beneficiary of junior linebacker Glenn Dorris’ pressure, as Leopards quarterback Mike DiPaola threw an ill-advised pass right into Williams’ arms and Williams returned it 91 yards for a touchdown.

Other suits decry what one calls excessive as well as "malicious and sadistic" use of pepper spray and other chemicals to keep mentally ill prisoners under control. In many cases the sprays have burned off inmates' skin, according to the suit. "Florida prisons still need to end this kind of outrageous conduct," says Randall Berg, executive director of the Florida Justice Institute...
...Neither McDonough nor other Florida corrections officials will discuss the suits, since they're still pending. But the state in the past has insisted that pepper spray is one of the more benign means of controlling violent and mentally ill prisoners - and Florida is hardly the only state that uses such chemical agents to handle unruly inmates. But beyond the pepper spray issue, groups like Berg's acknowledge that McDonough, an MIT grad and former Army colonel, has begun long-overdue reforms to tackle corruption and other abuses. "We're changing the culture of the Department," McDonough insists. "There...
