Thankfully, no one is waiting for another slow-motion catastrophe to unfold. Governors of more than 20 states have pledged emergency funds to help people, at least temporarily, pay for drugs they are having trouble getting. Insurers say they expect to have any remaining problems fixed in the next two weeks, although patient advocates are skeptical. And in response to the bipartisan outrage, House Republican leaders are considering a proposal, initially suggested by Democrats, to extend the deadline for signing up for the new benefit from May 15 to Dec. 31, a House G.O.P. aide tells TIME. The difficult transition...
...through the lens of these memories that I watched the Concerned Alumni of Princeton (CAP) matter unfold in the Alito confirmation hearings.

It seems that, like many men of his vintage, he opposed the admission of women and/or affirmative action for minorities.

...often become dirty. Character attacks, fraudulent spending and funding, Watergate, dead men voting, and hanging chads—all these issues and many more have marred the public’s faith in the election process. Harvard is not Washington. Yet, those watching the Undergraduate Council (UC) Presidential Campaign unfold over the last few weeks might never have guessed they were on a college campus and not in a swing state. This year’s campaign degenerated from a discussion on student issues into a spectacle that, if anything, left students more jaded than they already were...
