His wittiness outlived him, and so let this be a lesson to the UC hopefuls: in campaigns, slogans are tantamount to success. Save the platform, give me rhymes! Thomas D.

Meanwhile, even as groups like Planned Parenthood are heralding yesterday's decision as a victory for reproductive rights, they are angered that teens still face obstacles to getting emergency contraceptives. Perhaps the one thing they all agree on is that Plan B could have been...
