...decision places President Clinton squarely in the middle of a constitutional tug-of-war that U.S. Presidents have fought with the American judiciary since Thomas Jefferson rejected the idea that a sitting President could, or should, be compelled to testify in court. Five recent U.S. Presidents have given testimony in criminal cases. While Presidents Nixon and Reagan testified in courtrooms afterleaving office, Presidents Ford, Carter and Clinton gave videotaped testimony while serving. President Clinton did so in 1996, answering a Whitewater subpoena. In the present case, the Court gave Clinton at least one escape route: the justices gave the federal...

Perhaps Springfest could be moved from the MAC Quad to a more spacious locale such as the real Quad, the Tercentenary Theater, or even the Yard; the festivities could be extended into Saturday evening with nighttime movies or performances, and athletic contests such as tug-of-war could be added for variety.

On Earth, the gravity of just one moon is sufficient to cause the oceans to rise and fall in great crashing tides. On Io, the gravitational influence of three nearby moons is enough to distort the shape of the world itself, causing...

Says Bob Graziano, the Dodgers' vice president of finance: "Peter and Terry combined have 13 children. A baseball team is not very liquid for those people." Left the team as part of an estate, the O'Malley beneficiaries would pay an estate tax of 55% on all assets after the first $5 million, as opposed to a capital gains tax of about 28% on profits from selling the team...
