...Times’ source, federal authorities have placed liens on the personal trusts of Caspersen’s four sons, all of whom also attended the Law School. A member of the Law School’s class of 1966, Caspersen was a prominent player in the New Jersey Republican Party and the former CEO of Beneficial Corp, a major consumer lending company. His contributions to Harvard include chairing a record-breaking Law School capital campaign that raised $476 million and endowing a wing of the new Northwest Corner Building with the largest single donation in the Law School?...
...willing - even eager - to believe the worst about one another. This story is as old as the gun used by Vice President Aaron Burr to kill his political rival Alexander Hamilton. And it's as new as the $1 million-plus in fresh campaign contributions heaped on Republican Representative Joe Wilson of South Carolina after he hollered "You lie!" at the President during a joint session of Congress. Anger and suspicion ebb and flow through our history, from the anti-Catholic musings of the 19th century Know-Nothing Party to the truthers and birthers of today...

It's unlikely that any amendments that change the basic framework will be accepted, Baucus told reporters before unveiling his bill. The Montana Democrat has not even given up on the hope of some Republican support. But despite his apparent confidence, Baucus may still need to work to win over enough wavering Democrats to get the bill through the Finance Committee. Here are their five biggest issues with the legislation and what Baucus can - or in some cases cannot - do to assuage these fears...
...federal alternative into the bill, though there was no word if Baucus would accept such an amendment. "The proposed co-op model is untested and unsubstantiated and should not be considered as a national model for health insurance," Rockefeller said. If Dems choose to go it alone without any Republican support, it's possible they could include such a plan in the final version of the bill. But many moderate Democrats, such as Landrieu and Nebraska's Ben Nelson, have said they will not vote for a public plan, complicating the prospect of getting the 60 votes they would need...
