...Minnesota The Eternal Senate-Seat Battle More than 200 days after voters went to the polls, Minnesota has yet to seat its junior U.S. Senator. On June 1, the state's supreme court heard arguments on the intricacies of absentee-ballot rules, which the incumbent candidate, Republican Norm Coleman, contends were inconsistently applied and would therefore invalidate a lower-court ruling that Democrat Al Franken won the race by a margin of just 312 votes. The court is expected to rule on the issue within weeks. Franken's admission to the Senate would give Democrats a 60-vote majority, which...

Then, when it was suggested that House administrative staff be reduced, we felt the cuts had hit bone. For decades, the Houses have operated without administrative staff growth, even though the responsibilities of House administration have grown. These cuts would disable the very functioning of the Harvard...
...Similarly, dozens of junior professors in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and Law School have complained to me over the years that tenured professorships are “occupied” by older faculty who no longer actively publish or teach. This, they argue, is detrimental to the academy since it keeps faculties filled with unproductive scholars and makes it extremely difficult for younger ones to begin their academic careers. But no students or faculty at Harvard have called publicly for reassessing how faculty are appointed and kept on. The one person who has is Summers...
