...direct lending program would be drastically rolled back. Today, students can apply for a loan directly from the federal government simply by filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. Students under the direct loan programs do not need to go through banks or other intermediaries. It is relatively easy to know the status of a loan, repayment is more flexible and bureaucracy is fairly unintrusive. As one university president said, "It is rare that the federal government creates a program that both saves money and improves services to its constituents. Direct lending is such a program...
...President ordered him hustled onto a jet and flown to the U.S., where he is wanted on 20 charges, including drug trafficking, money laundering and murder, and is featured on the FBI's 10-most-wanted list. (He is the first international drug dealer ever to make that dishonor roll.) When he realized where he was headed, Garcia Abrego lost his composure.

Tracy's shutout was Harvard's first blanking of the season and its first road shutout since December 3, 1993, also against the Skating Dutchmen...

Moore complains of being thrown onto powdered cement, walking "small, repetitive distances in uncomfortable shoes" and standing around in a G-string with tissues stuffed up her nose. "I have even gone so far as to roll around in a semiclad state on piles of money and Michael Douglas," she says. All for just a few million lousy bucks. But it's not endlessly horrid. "You just have to remind yourself that you may get stuck with hairpins every day, but you can also get Tom Jones...
