...When it comes to hot-button campus issues, students have, by and large, left the council for issue-specific special-interest groups. And these new groups--the Progressive Student Labor Movement, the Coalition Against Sexual Violence, etc.--seem to have more traction with the administration, demonstrated by their recently won concessions.

I was telling my sleeping daughter, "Clemens used to be with us. Tremendous arm, but never won a big one for us. He cleaned out his locker once, like a kid taking his ball home, because he was mad at management. Big baby. Big baby's a Yankee now. I'd like to see him fall...
