The participants, who have pooled resources for baby sitting, discuss a planned missionary trip and sing along with a CD by the Christian crossover group Sixpence None the Richer.

(DeWine's probable Senate opponent observed that "DeWine doesn't want to be seen with President Bush in public.") One of the first to denounce the ports deal was Pennsylvania's Rick Santorum, a Senator whose re-election battle--already the toughest in the country--will...

Understandably, the IRC and other basement-dwelling groups are peeved at being kicked out of their central locations and forced to move to the distant suburb that is the Quad. They complain that the conversion of their basement offices into, among other things, social space for the freshman class—as has been announced—is both wrongheaded and unnecessary...
