...Leahy, the incoming Judiciary chairman, is doing his part. In addition to the hearings, he and the ranking minority leader, Arlen Specter, have introduced a bill that would roll back Bush's habeas-overriding powers. Leahy, Wisconsin's Russ Feingold, and New Hampshire conservative John Sununu today will introduce a bill that would require executive branch agencies regularly to report on data mining efforts. On the record, Harry Reid's office is nominally supportive of these efforts.

The improbable and impossible wins, like those over Stanford and BC, make more probable the same results once big games roll around again. National exposure and impressive performances against top-25 opponents help smaller Division 1 programs land recruits who might have been snatched up by bigger programs. Ask junior guard Lindsay Hallion, who led all scorers with 18 in the win over BC. She grew up in Westwood, Mass...
