...actual date of DeLay's resignation and its confirmation by the Texas Secretary of State will determine when an election for the seat will be held. If DeLay officially resigns before this Friday, April 7, a special election could be called for the next so-called uniform election date, May 13. If the resignation falls after April 7, Gov. Rick Perry (no relation to Bob Perry) could call a special election date later, or could hold the seat vacant until the general election in November...
...billion sq m of floor space annually?half the world's yearly total?and plans to add another 20-30 billion by 2020. In theory, this should offer limitless opportunities for innovative urban planning. But as China's cities have grown larger, they have only become more uniform, so that each now seems to boast a skyscraping government office, roads scaled like highways and a vast Tiananmen-like square.

...General officer, it is mystifying to me how making it harder to recruit graduates of Harvard Law is supposed to change the policy on homosexuals in the military, a policy which was imposed by Congress and former President Clinton—it cannot be changed by any person in uniform. If professors were sincere about criticizing that policy, they would equally reject any official visit to the campus by President Clinton, who bears direct responsibility for that policy. But I sincerely doubt that that will ever happen. Their attitude is on a par with the feminists who roundly called...
