...rooms that were affected, and students from those rooms have found other accommodations for the moment, but the rest of the entryway seems to be okay,” Harris added. According to Kumar, it was initially believed that the library had sustained the worst of the damage. A pool of water had collected on the floor, and murky water was pouring out of chandeliers. But Harris said that an extensive examination of the entryway showed that while a few dorm rooms were damaged, the library did not bear the brunt of the flood’s infliction...

...appeal fails, Libby's only recourse would be a presidential pardon. But will Bush do it? The Washington Post staff has already opened a pool to predict the pardon date. Democrats greeted the verdict with near-unanimous calls on Bush to forswear a pardon in the Libby case. To be sure, Bush has been more stingy about pardons than some recent Presidents. During his eight-year term, Bill Clinton issued 395 pardons and 61 commutations during his presidency. The first President Bush, by comparison, issued only 77 pardons during his four-year term. His son has thus far issued...
