...would be hard to argue that the UC having better information about its constituent’s desires would be a bad thing. Without such information the UC flails in the dark. To wit, the most frustrating part of last semester’s UC resolution to support the Student Labor Action Movement’s (SLAM) living-wage campaign, was that it presumed to speak for a student body that it had yet to consult. In that vein, we certainly support UC initiatives to better ascertain the pulse of the student body. But we do so with significant caveats...
...novel, fast-paced and punctuated by the self-effacing wit of disguised autobiography, reads like a screenplay—but one that we have seen already. A talented attorney at one of London’s largest law firms, Williams has his life rattled by the appearance of a ne’er-do-well school friend from Ireland. Geordie literally shows up on Danny’s doorstep with ?50,000 in stolen money and intentions of staying with him long enough to avoid the Loyalist militia types who are after their money...

...junkets that Abramoff and Scanlon say they provided to Ney in return for "official acts," the e-mails present in one place the specific elements of a swap that Abramoff has told investigators was prearranged and explicitly reciprocal, according to a source close to the Justice Department probe. To wit: a $10,000 donation to the Republicans just days before Ney inserted into the Congressional Record a statement praising an Abramoff business partner. Ney's lawyer, Mark Tuohey, calls the accusations "totally false...
