...accurate and deceptive and just confusing enough to defy opposition. On the one hand, we had eliminated some ancient and patently absurd regulations, many of them promulgated under seemingly faith-phobic Democratic Administrations, that discriminated against faith-based groups simply because they might have a religious-sounding name. The Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, for instance, was once denied the chance to apply for a federal grant even though it was an entirely secular organization...
...Prediction: Lehigh 24, Yale 23CORNELL (1-3, 0-2) VS. COLGATE (2-3) Colgate has beaten Cornell in their last 10 meetings, dating back to 1992. But I’m just focusing on 2006, remember? Remarkably similar teams in name (seven letters beginning in C) and place (non-metropolitan New York) and strategy (run early and often). A showdown of productive runners in Jordan Scott of Colgate and Luke Siwula of Cornell. Neither quarterback is afraid to tuck it and take off either.Take the points. Prediction: Colgate 21, Cornell 17DARTMOUTH (0-4, 0-2) VS. HOLY CROSS...
...composers. But throughout the late 19th century, a particularly high concentration of great American painters - including Winslow Homer, James McNeill Whistler and Mary Cassatt - passed through the City of Light. From Oct. 24-Jan. 18, their labors will be on display in "Americans in Paris, 1860-1900" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The exhibit ranges from portraits to cityscapes to glimpses into the studio life. Cassatt's severe and pensive mother makes a showing...
...Democratic National Convention. A MBTA spokesman, Joe Pesaturo, said that the policy was well-received at that time. “People have said over and over that safety is their primary concern,” he said. After the 2005 London bombings, New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority instituted a policy of random bag searches based on the MBTA program. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) challenged New York’s policy in court on the basis that it violated the Fourth Amendment. In August, a federal appeals court upheld a lower court?...
...striking resemblance to the Battle of Lexington, nobody can agree on who's responsible: the Minutemen or their foes. The shot heard 'round campus (and the greater New York metropolitan area) was clearly fired by the protestors, some of whom were identified as members of a Columbia socialist group and the Chicano Caucus. But things quickly escalated once some college Republicans arrived on stage and fought back. The Spec collects official statements from the relevant groups, but can't seem to find anyone willing to take responsibility. A minute-by-minute reconstruction of events might be in order...
