...going to take a week off, fly to Florida, sit in the sun outside his condominium and then gather around him a group of wise men and women to think through the campaign. Just holding such a meeting is unusual for Dole, who has never been quick to seek or take advice. "He has no peers," says a top aide. "He has colleagues; he has friends. But all his real peers are dead. He's outlived them...

On Tuesday, the Senate passed a $166 billion bill to fund dozens of government agencies through September. The House...
...building renovation program, which includes major projects like the transformation of Memorial Hall, has been funded by private gifts. University officials claim that the rising costs of information technology and library materials and operations have contributed to the tuition increase. However, we feel that the University must continue to seek more effective cost-cutting measures by promoting increased efficiency and maintaining improvements in student services...
