...supposed to benefit: student athletes. Many athletes are intensely committed to their sport and would prefer to practice year-round rather than take an artificial break. Several have already indicated that they intend to break the rule and practice with their team—putting them in an unfair position where improving their athletic ability is deemed an illegitimate use of time.

In other words, TXU might need bankruptcy lawyers more than buyers. THE BOURSE Back in Black? Ecstasy finally mixed last week with investors' now-traditional agony. Markets had the biggest four-day rise in a decade, surging over 10% on encouraging earnings. But like the days of irrational...
