...center is not waiting until its endowment is fat enough to sustain it on its own. Rather, the money that is being brought in from the first donors is getting spent on current projects.

Now that the University is distributing different HIID programs among the graduate schools, it is likely that some will be absorbed and restructured by the School of Public Health and KSG. Sievers says she does not know whether any more of HIID's endowment will then be apportioned...
Behind the smoke screen, Bush's allies on the right stepped up their assault. The National Smokers Alliance warned that "if straight talk is the issue, John McCain isn't the answer." Christian-right leader Pat Robertson threatened that "a large portion of the Republican base would walk away" if McCain was the nominee. Representative Henry Hyde of Illinois, chairman of the House impeachment proceedings, taped a phone message for 100,000 voters, implicitly criticizing McCain for wanting to change the G.O.P's abortion plank to include exceptions for rape and incest--exceptions Bush also supports, though Hyde didn...

Remember when the controversy over Miss America's swimsuit competition threatened to end that portion of the show forever? Those days are long gone. Now, little children can turn on their sets and watch a beauty pageant without the beauty or the pageantry--where the prize is an old, sleazy man rather than a tiara and sash, and the title Mrs. Multi-Millionaire is more desirable than Miss America. (A whip-smart friend pointed out that it would have been a mean little joke if the man's actual last name was Multi-Millionaire--a man who didn't have...
