Legal experts posit that the prosecution knew, from the very beginning, they wouldn't get the murder convictions they asked for - while Diallo's death was bloody, it was not deliberate.

...moment last Thursday, Steve Forbes dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination--only, of course, after spending $66 million over the past six years. Many political critics recognize a candidate's need for money to run an effective campaign.

The recent crisis concerning the expulsion of Vice President Errant John A. Burton '01 seems to be merely a marker in a long line of council crises. But look closer: the impeachment scandal may actually be something the council has done right...
