...could sustain cuts. The “vast majority” of departments have founds ways to trim 15 percent of their budgets in keeping with a recommendation Smith made in December, the Dean said. “Part of the issue here is we can’t stop the business of the whole education process as we’re moving forward,” Smith said, emphasizing the importance of supporting current operations while planning for the future through the more general “80% FAS-wide plan” announced in January.

...Many leftist Israelis would gladly stick prayers in the Western Wall too, if they believed that would stop Lieberman, whom they see as a demagogue and an anti-Arab racist, from scoring big in Tuesday's elections. In Israel's fractious political scene, it is nearly impossible today for any single party to win a simple majority in the 120-seat Knesset.

Lewis had a strange past. He had been charged with a 1978 Kansas City murder after police found the remains of one of his former clients in bags in his attic; charges were dropped after a judge ruled that the police search of Lewis' home was illegal. But police could never tie him to the Tylenol killings and he denied committing them. Lewis was convicted of extortion...
