Rumors have focused on four possible tickets, which are notable for their diversity and mix of UC insiders and outsiders.UC insiders are speculating that the two leading tickets will be UC Finance Committee chair Andrea R. Flores ’10, running with David F. Boswell ’10, and UC Student Affairs Committee vice-chair Benjamin P. Schwartz ’10, running with Alneada D. Biggers ’10. Other possible tickets would...
...third of Jerusalem's 750,000 population are ultra-Orthodox Jews, another third are a mix of secular and less Orthodox Jews, while the remaining third are East Jerusalem's Arabs. Gaydamak, 56, can forget about winning the ultra-Orthodox vote. It will be delivered in a bloc to Meir Porush, 54, a former Knesset member who has the backing of the city's key rabbis.

But Alaskans may have bought his contention that the case, decided thousands of miles away in Washington, D.C., was a noxious mix of prosecutorial misconduct and a runaway jury. Helping Stevens' argument was the revelation this week that a juror who vanished during the trial ostensibly to attend a family funeral had actually skipped out to watch a horse race in California. While the incident may not clear Stevens' legally, it could...
