...elections. Under the plan, which will be implemented this year, the University will mail letters to alumni endorsing their official slate of candidates. The plan will also require HRAAA candidates to be listed as a group separately on the ballots, after the University candidates. Previously, they were listed in random order...
...member NCAA Council--which includes Harvard Athletic Director Jack Reardon--has unanimously endorsed a proposal that calls for year-round random drug testing for all collegiate athletes.

For reasons having more to do with random events and petty frustration than with any rational calculus of relative evil and threat to the nation, the pit-faced Panamanian dictator is now U.S. Public Enemy No. 1. Our top foreign policy goal, for the moment, is to wipe him out. Nothing would add more to the nation's pursuit of happiness. Even those liberal Democrats who would want six months of hearings before responding to a nuclear attack are screaming for blood...
