They have a vested interest in maintaining their control. But they?re not dumb. They know which way the wind is blowing and that this is the No. 1 domestic issue with Americans. Their job now is to try to control it so that universal health care is run through them, so that they can still skim the money, make the obscene profits...

Though Stanford’s NCAA Self-Study was not made available to The Crimson, its rival, UC Berkeley, reports a typical overrepresentation of African-Americans in sports. In 2004-2005, 16.3 percent of Berkeley’s recruited athletes were black, as opposed to 4 percent of its student body. Likewise, academically elite Division I-AA schools such as William and Mary (14.8 percent vs. 4.5 percent) and Lehigh (13.6 percent vs. 2.9 percent) possess similar profiles...
