Currier House residents who battled their way home to the Quad during last Friday night’s snow expecting warmth and shelter instead faced the foul odor of a sewage leak. On Friday afternoon, one of the House’s primary draining pumps shut down, causing a build-up of pressure that burst a sewage pipe in the House’s Lower Main hallway. Since the hall links all resident towers to the dining hall and to the House’s main entrance, the sewage puddle cut residents of Daniels Tower off from their rooms...

...During the investigation into the leak of Plame's identity, Libby told the grand jury he heard about Plame being a CIA officer from NBC's Tim Russert. Libby testified that he recalled being "surprised" at the news during his conversation with Russert. The jury, looking at their compilation of facts posted on the wall, were convinced Libby already knew about Plame at that point.
