Packwood's road back to respectability has astonished most Washington bookmakers, who had once expected him to resign in disgrace. He was publicly accused shortly after his re-election in 1992 of having harassed more than two dozen women over his career. After stonewalling inquiries and then impugning the sexual histories of his accusers, he apologized for his behavior and entered an alcohol-rehabilitation program. When his Senate colleagues started shunning him, he kept on smiling and glad-handing. He also began to oppose issues that Dole opposed, such as requiring employers to pay for workers' health insurance. Packwood...
First-years, as well as those hoping to escape from (or to) the Quad, have already submitted their forms to the great equalizer: the God of Randomization. Although the hardcore statistics majors (all three) and other naysayers resign themselves to pure happenstance, others on campus try desperately to beat the odds.

Cisneros announced his decision at a press conference soon after Attorney General Janet Reno recommended the appointment of the special prosecutor to probe allegations that Cisneros lied about payments to an ex-mistress. TIME White House correspondent James Carney says Cisneros, who had indicated his intention to resign if a counsel were appointed, apparently changed his mind after a long session with...
...Stevens (R-Alaska), a longtime member of Hatfield's panel. Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) joined the defenders, arguing that Hatfield should not be punished for sticking by his principles. Before last Thursday's budget bill vote, Dole reportedly refused an offer by Hatfield to resign rather than vote against the Party -- a move that would have given the amendment the necessary two-thirds majority...
