...unsuspecting visitor who happened upon Sanders Theater last Monday night would not have been able to detect that the treacherous midterm season has descended on the campus. The theater, usually reserved for sleepy-eyed Social Analysis 10 students and sedate Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra concert-goers, was filled to the brim with anxious fans awaiting the three rambunctious frontmen with Boston roots better known as Dispatch. Braddigan (Brad Corrigan), Chetro (Chad Urmston), and Repete (Pete Heimbold) turned what would have been a great opportunity to catch up on study and sleep into an energy-filled, dancing-in-the-isles, let?...

The Speaker added that the House G.O.P. would offer up its own emergency round of tax cuts--with or without White House backing. "Fine," Bush said, feigning enthusiasm. Privately, the President is worried that a Hastert plan, if passed, could...

The White House looks at the poll numbers and is concerned about a possible backlash from fundamentalist Catholics and Evangelicals, the shock troops who vote, especially in midterm elections. Bush's G.O.P. can't have them sitting at home in protest if it is to hold the House and win back the Senate...
