...reason for the financial deficit is two-fold, Hopkins stated: 1) contributions from alumni have not yet been received and are not expected until later this season. 2) it is too early in the year for substantial revenues to be realized from the multiple band activities such as concerts and recordings...

Draining the swamp, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld called it, rather than only swatting the mosquitoes. Plenty of mosquitoes have been swatted, of course. But there are plenty more buzzing around, waiting to pick their targets. More importantly, perhaps, the swamp is looking nastier than ever. Hostility to the U.S. is more widespread and more intense than...
