...sense dictates that it must waive some measure of its legal autonomy. To argue otherwise, as the University has, is to subvert the importance of public oversight of government authority.Some University administrators worry that campus police records contain sensitive student information that, if distributed to members of the campus press, might breach these students’ privacy. Certainly, we recognize that HUPD performs many sensitive tasks—sometimes involving students who have not committed crimes—that a conventional police department would not. But the fact remains that any consideration for these other roles and their sensitivity...
...fact, Obama's message was working well enough that Clinton had to react to it. "This has been very much a referendum on her," said strategist Mark Penn on the press plane east from Iowa. During private sessions that spread through the weekend, the internal Clinton campaign discussion alternated between how to hit Obama and how to help her. "You're going to see some very sharp media now," an adviser promised. Aides threw out charges one after another in emails and in conference calls with reporters - about Obama's vote for the Patriot Act, his relationship with lobbyists...

Huckabee's populism and gift for campaigning made him an irresistible choice for Iowa Republicans, and he brought remarkable numbers of Evangelicals out to vote. And when the crotchety, conservative New Hampshire Union Leader joined the elbow-patch-liberal Concord Monitor in endorsing McCain, Romney was on notice that his mansion on a New Hampshire lakefront...
...announcement came Tuesday during Sarkozy's first full-blown solo press conference at the Elysée palace. As part of his plan for rationalizing the state's sprawling audiovisual empire, the President suggested "we consider the total suppression of advertising on public channels", and that income lost from the ad ban be compensated in part by "an infinitesimal sales tax on new communication methods, like internet access and mobile telephony." Freeing state television stations from ratings-sensitive advertising, Sarkozy said, would allow public TV to quit trying to match the popular but mind-numbing game shows and reality television...
