Many students say the Grille has been much stricter about carding, and has drawn fewer students because of fears of another raid. According to one first-year, the Grille's bartenders, many of whom declined to comment to The Crimson, are upset about declining attendance...
...world order showing so much wear of late? Every day it seems the headlines reveal another nasty fissure. When the U.S. and Britain bombed Iraq two weeks ago, they didn't even inform France or Germany in advance. The French Foreign Minister, Hubert Védrine, denounced the raid last week as having "no legal basis"-so much for solidarity. European leaders are deeply anxious about Washington's plans to build a limited missile shield, but the Bush Administration has said bluntly that while it's willing to talk over the details, its mind is made up.

...their way to make nice with Bush in public.

There, in the home of a security guard named Archie Mingoc, police found a box containing $1.38 trillion in fake bonds and stacks of counterfeit Japanese, Malaysian and Argentinian currency. A raid on the home of his brother-in-law, Renato Waban, yielded an additional $773 billion in bonds. Mingoc swears Waban, who has since disappeared, asked him to stash the box. Police believe Waban, who flew from Cagayan de Oro to Manila twice a week, may have acted as go-between...
