...draft’s aforementioned vagueness. The rule is likely to be implemented in different ways across different houses, and therefore the status quo, in which some tutors have stricter policies than others, will probably continue under the new rules. This rule, and others, also makes no mention of the school’s amnesty policy, which is another sign that the school may be moving from an alcohol policy aimed at promoting health and safety to one fixated on eliminating underage drinking entirely. While the content and focus of these policies are troubling, we are particularly appalled at their...
...biggest problem is that many of these ballots do not even mention how much postage is needed in the first place. Some simply read, “Please note: Extra postage may be needed when mailing completed absentee ballots,” while others say nothing at all. Many of the Web sites for these counties also provide no information. The 800 number for the Los Angeles County Registrar, for example, was disconnected, and calls to the local number given were unanswered. Only upon e-mailing the office and waiting three days was this voter able to find...

Veltroni even gets a mention in Ian McEwan's best-selling novel Saturday...
...freezing funds is tantamount to censorship in this case. Each year the Montclarion receives $33,000 in student financing and the loss of that money has meant a cancellation of last week’s issue and the loss of thousands of dollars in advertising—not to mention the loss of news to the student body. Regardless of the infighting between the press and the government, disagreements should be restricted to the editorial page and meetings between parties; it should never threaten the ability of the paper to continue its work. A free and uninhibited press is needed...
...campaign was represented by the Pats, and they blew it, then he could too. If his campaign was the New York Giants, the underdogs trying to make a last-minute comeback, then he had betrayed his adopted state and again opened himself up to loser status, not to mention further charges of flip-flopping. And then there was the fundamental nature of football, where a fumble can swing a season, where two-minute drills create dynasties, and missed field goals end careers. There was only one safe route to go. "No metaphor," he said again...
