Last week I attended the "$40,000 Question" council meeting, presumably called so that the student body could voice its opinion about what to do with the $40,000 surplus the council found earlier this year. I was one of a whopping 30 students assembled. If you subtract the 20 council members and four Crimson executives present, the net student body turnout was an astounding six. When one such student criticized the council for its shoddy publicity and lack of communication with the general student body, council president Noah Z.

...target was HIV, the AIDS virus, and their focus was on its smallest victims: babies born to infected mothers. Doctors knew that months of intravenous drug treatment during pregnancy can keep HIV from passing from mother to child, but the $1,000-a-day regimen is out of the question in Third World countries, where basic medical care and even clean drinking water are hard to come by.

...charge of making false statements) and Susan McDougal (on the charge of criminal contempt for stiff arming Starr's inquiries). The onetime Clinton confidants have long been suspected of withholding dirt, but if they haven't cracked yet, it's hard to imagine they ever will. The ultimate question for Starr is what to do legally with the case that fell short politically. A sign that an indictment isn't imminent is the departure for private practice of Starr's day-to-day manager of the Lewinsky probe, Bob Bittman, and his top appellate litigator, Brett Kavanaugh. Soon after...
