...words of Senator Clinton herself: Let's pause for a reality check. Her campaign image of late reflects a regression to primitive tactics more than an evolution in intimacy. On the night before the New Hampshire primary, Clinton gave a chilling speech, mentioning al-Qaeda's interest in U.S. elections and implying that extremist groups would plan an attack based on whom primary voters nominated. Her rhetoric was eerily similar to that of President George W. Bush's on the eve of the 2006 midterm elections, when he declared that a victory for the Democrats who opposed his policy...
...Christian enclave of Baghdad, the Iraq Stock Exchange, or ISX, can be distiguished from its counterparts in New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo and London by two things: the trading is done manually, and two cordial plainclothes guards at the white plastic table in the courtyard are happy to check your guns...

The rule is likely to be implemented in different ways across different houses, and therefore...

While college students may be near post offices and therefore able to spend a few minutes figuring all this out, the same cannot necessarily be said about another...
...news to the student body. Regardless of the infighting between the press and the government, disagreements should be restricted to the editorial page and meetings between parties; it should never threaten the ability of the paper to continue its work. A free and uninhibited press is needed to check elected student officials and administrations on campus. But lately, the notion that a student newspaper should be allowed to act as functionally independent organ of the student body has been assaulted. The withholding of funds for The Montclarion is chillingly reminiscent of attempts by the University of Southern California administration...
