...University (CDU), the assembly's first political party, is championing broader participation in the assembly as one of the key ideas in its platform. Although Winthrop said he will not run for re-election because he hopes to become a model for non-member activism, it remains to be seen whether the assembly can generate enough widespread student support to build on its recent initiative...

When you've seen one key theft, you've seen them all. The robberies are so perfectly planned and calmly dispatched that the culprits may as well be executing a recipe for steak-and-kidney pie. Even the hero's climactic sprint across the top of the moving train...
