William Kunstler is more than just a lefty defense attorney known for taking on unpopular clients like Colin Ferguson and Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman. He's also a poet, having just published a collection of sonnets, Hints & Allegations, which features works such as "The Trial of Marion Barry" ("When our officialdom has stooped so low/ We all must utter a resounding 'No!'") and "William H.

Then again, says G.O.P. consultant Paul Wilson, ``he doesn't really care who likes him. He'll take on anybody. He's like the kid from the neighborhood who picks a fight to show the bigger boys he can beat 'em.'' Kasich insists that his first month as chairman has made...
...selection curious. The newly appointed dean says that while he intends to hear more viewpoints between now and July 1, he stands behind the recommendations of the report. That means a Lewis administration would see a number of changes, most notably randomization of the housing lottery, that are wildly unpopular with students...
