When Interior Secretary Douglas McKay announced in March that he would run for the U.S. Senate in Oregon this year, he expected to win the Republican nomination with the ease of a stone rolling down Mt.

So pity the history major as he tries to find a professor. Sorrow for him as he searches for courses with which to pass generals. Grieve for him as he looks for Greece, early Rome, most of the Middle Ages, half of Renaissance and Reformation, Russia from...
