Last Friday, Governor Sarah Palin paused her campaign rhetoric to make her first policy speech, laying out a controversial plan intended to increase educational opportunities for children with special needs. Her proposal provides much-needed funding for a federal law enacted in 1975 that compels school districts to provide a “free, appropriate public education” to any student with a disability. Case law has dictated that, if an administrator or school decides that the public school is incapable of doing so, then the student may enroll in a more suitable private school at the expense...
...Mary Anne Marks ’10 has admitted that she is unsure whether the damage to HRL’s poster is intentional or not; nevertheless, we stand with the administration in its determined stance against vandalism.

Nobody had any idea how it was going to go and I'm very proud that...
...considering John McCain's wife Cindy is the heiress to an Anheuser-Bush beer distributor fortune, that's probably not a surprise. But an ad that manages to humorously skewer the Bush Administration's record while subtly tying it to McCain's (Stone is watching a McCain speech in the spot's open) and dust off a fondly-remembered if little-mourned catchphrase? That's sure to give a few Joe Sixpacks pause. True...
