...Both page programs trace their roots to 1829, when Senator Daniel Webster appointed a 9-year-old boy to be his personal gopher. Since then thousands of young men - and eventually young women - have come to Washington to run errands for the members of Congress. Like many jobs in Washington, getting hired as a page often means having the right political connections. The work is also grueling, especially during the school year, when pages start class at 6:45 a.m. and can stay on the House or Senate floor late into the night...
Signs on salad bars from Pfoho to Mather explaining Harvard’s curious lack of roughage are putting a damper on the otherwise exquisite, or at least generally non-lethal, Harvard College dining experience.

Until Wednesday, investigators at the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had only suspected that fresh, bagged spinach had caused nearly 150 people to fall ill, and led to one death, from the bacterial infection. Researchers had not been able to trace the bacteria to fresh spinach until they tested one of several opened bags of the leafy vegetable from the homes of sickened people. DNA fingerprinting confirmed not only the presence of E. coli, but also linked the bacteria found on the spinach to the same ones isolated from patients. This...
...authorities are fighting back, using such tactics as surveillance, infiltration and the cutting of suspected dissidents' Internet connections. Government officials won't comment on enforcement matters. But administration sources tell TIME that because they can't easily trace VoIP with technology, agents have joined and surreptitiously monitored VoIP chat rooms. Participants in antigovernment discussions use aliases, but agents try to lure them into revealing their true identities...
