Beyond Pennsylvania, other Northeastern states are involved in intense battles. In New Jersey, the U.S. Senate contest between Democratic Senator Robert Menendez and Republican Thom H. Kean Jr. is being watched intensely, as is Rhode Island Republican Lincoln D. Chafee’s effort to keep his Senate seat in a race against Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse after narrowly winning his party’s primary. And who could forget the nationally spotlighted Senate race in Connecticut, which pits Democrat Edward “Ned” Lamont Jr. ’76 against former vice presidential candidate and incumbent Joseph...
...prime magician, Secretary of Treasury John W. Snow, and it leaves promises of future rises—as early as next year—looming menacingly over our heads. All this, while Senators Edward M.

Democratic Senators Hillary Clinton of New York and Bob Menendez of New Jersey plan to hold hearings on the issue next week, and are seeking legislation banning companies controlled by foreign governments from buying U.S. port facilities. Menendez alleged that the UAE has a "serious and dubious history... as a transit point for terrorism." And in response to Homeland Security...
...evidence strongly indicated that race played a major role in the situation. He also attacked the media in its coverage of trials in general, complaining that the media routinely predicts verdicts incorrectly and has little regard for the actual issues of the trial. “You look at Menendez one, O.J. Simpson, Robert Blake, Scott Peterson, Michael Jackson; the media usually predicts the wrong result,” Mesereau said. “They are primarily governed by a desire for ratings and money. They don’t have responsibility for what happens to the accused...
