...reasonable to think that a Supreme Court justice can be bought so cheap, the nation is in deeper trouble than I had imagined." ANTONIN SCALIA, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, in a 21-page memorandum declaring that he will not recuse himself from a case before the court regarding Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force, despite his friendship with Cheney...

This cheap shot usually resonates with undergraduates still bitter about their housing assignments, but it ignores the data that inspired the new restrictions. A full one-third of meals served at Adams the week before the ban went to first-years. That adds up to 1,100 extra meals served in addition...
