First, we address the incorrect facts used in the article. Schoenberger reports that 4,100 computers have accessed CDA since January 19th. In fact, only 1,400 computers have done so. Also, student CUE member James Grimmelmann is described in the article as being affiliated with Digitas. In fact, although both the president and technical director of Digitas know Grimmelman personally, no official affiliation exists, as he is not a member...
...replying to register my disappointment with the inaccuracy of Rachel Barenbaum's op-ed on Ebonics. I do not pretend to speak for supporters of Ebonics, I am only writing as one supporter of Ebonics. With few exceptions, Ms. Barenbaum's entire analysis is completely incorrect.

More than this we cannot say until a new system has been selected...
...sake of continued public confidence in this investigation, it would be inappropriate to set any arbitrary date upon which to terminate my role as independent counsel," Starr said, reading from a prepared statement. "I made a mistake," he told reporters afterward. "Setting an arbitrary date was unwise and incorrect. . .an unwise judgment on my part." Starr's announcement Monday that he would be stepping down Aug. 1 to become dean of two graduate schools at Pepperdine University had drawn a chorus of boos from Republicans and happy hoots from the White House, while also prompting rampant speculation that Starr...
