...unprovoked war with Iraq under false pretenses, a war that has cost tens of thousands of U.S. and Iraqi lives and is sure to cost many more.

...PRESIDENT OF Princeton's student government makes an interesting case against the school's grade-capping policy, the Daily Princetonian reports, in the wake of a survey that found most students aren't happy with the change. Alex Lenahan says, wait a minute, what if there never was any grade inflation at Princeton? He points to a report from the late 90s that found an increase in "academic 1's and 2's," admissions-speak for the most intelligent students, enrolling at the school. It's a substantial increase: Academic 1's jumped 21 percent between the classes...
