...asked the State Ethics Commission to determine whether she wrongly used the state police helicopter and should thus pay back the $1,000 cost of the flight, but also claims she does not believe such a repayment is necessary. From Swift, the official most vocal in her condemnation of friend of the administration Peter Blute and his unethical activities, this personal reticence about her mistakes is particularly troubling. We pass over any discussion of her special $25,000 salary (as compared with the average $3,100 for part-time instructors) to teach one course at Suffolk Law School, which...
...nominating process. The New York GOP has an onerous process that requires a candidate to garner signatures in each voting district in order to get listed on a party ballot. This year John McCain, running a close second in the state behind George W. Bush - who has gotten vocal support from state GOP heads, including Governor George Pataki - petitioned a state court to add him to the ballots of more than a dozen upstate districts that left him off. At the same time Steve Forbes, who placed second in Iowa, has sued the Bush campaign in an attempt...

And perhaps most importantly, the vocal coherence of the musical is often lost when the cast begins dancing to a musical number. Lighting adjustments, such as more use of the spotlight to focus the audience on the soloists, would alleviate the problem...

The voices of Noah (Ryan Shrime '00), Mama Noah (Ashley McCants '02), Yonah (Jody Flader '02), and Japheth (Jason McNeely '00) fill the room admirably and beautifully complement each other...
Furthermore, because the actual presidential election is so far away, voter turnout is extraordinarily low for primaries. As a result, a particularly active or vocal minority can sway party primaries very easily. Voters in the primary elections tend to be entrenched party members, and candidates routinely campaign toward the extremes and special interests of specific states during the primaries to capture party votes, then move back to the middle for the national election. As a result, there is no motivation for candidates to campaign either consistently or with the interest of the whole nation in mind as they go state...
