Fundraising for libraries and faculty chairs-two areas that have lagged-will receive particular focus this year. Though the central administration fund-unrestricted moneys for the President and support for the inter-faculty initiatives-also lags, the administration has decided not to spotlight this area for fear it will detract from the individual schools' efforts, said Thomas M.

...Phair was using naughty words long before Meredith Brooks set out to use the word bitch as a means of empowerment, and Ani DiFranco was shaking things up while Jewel was still reading by candlelight on the granola farm.

Their "Catalog Of GOP Campaign Finance Abuses" is a 13,000-word compendium of references to GOP abuses in newspaper and magazine articles. It's their own Web version of "I know you are but what am I?" While the page is of course partisan, the Dems do have a point. Only 24 of the 183 subpoenas issued by the Thompson committee target Democrats. The inquiry entirely...
