...HUDS Director of Marketing and Communications Alix McNitt said that nutrition cannot be spoon-fed to students because individual eating habits vary. “We do not want to presume we know what’s best,” she said. “Food means different things to different people, and we’re trying to offer a range of things throughout the month that will have an appeal to everyone...

Or a draft-Perot movement should be under way. (Perot declined to talk to TIME.) In addition to the new burden for Medicare, discretionary spending has increased 27% in the past two years. Much of that has gone to fighting the war on terrorism, but funds have also been spent on new benefits for veterans, subsidies for farmers and aid to low-performing...
