...College has also banned kegs at the Game, in Cambridge, since 2002.Associate Dean of Student Affairs for Yale College Betty Trachtenberg attributed the new restrictions to concerns over student safety at tailgates, particularly at previous Harvard-Yale games. She also said the rules were aimed to encourage higher student turnout inside the stadium. “There’s a football game going on,” Trachtenberg said. “It’s not an alcohol contest for the student body.” This year’s regulations also prohibit students from standing...
...like baseball, for years was less effective than it could be because you didn't try to quantify things," he told TIME. Mehlman managed Bush-Cheney '04, which set "metrics" for making phone calls and knocking on doors, and tracked ads on spreadsheets. He obsesses over detailed data like turnout in Florida among newly registered Republicans who call themselves fiscal conservatives (91.2% last year), all new G.O.P.ers (75.7%) and overall (65.3%)--numbers that he says show the power of tax cuts.

But early reports from Nineveh and Diyala left Sunnis crying fraud...
...high turnout, and probable approval, by Iraqis of their draft constitution over the weekend was welcome news for the Bush administration. "We're makings progress toward peace," Bush said on Sunday. Despite that success, the week will likely be full of stories depicting either GOP "division" or "disarray." Washington is abuzz with rumors that an indictment could come as soon as this week in the CIA leak case. Both Karl Rove, the president's top political advisor, and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, could face charges. Bill Frist, the top Republican...
