...most importantly, overseeing the campaigns to ensure that all candidates abide by the rules of the commission and of the University as a whole. All candidates are required to submit detailed expense accounts throughout the campaign, and violations of the rules are to be brought before the commission. The implicit purpose of the commission is to make the election legitimate in the eyes of the student body and hold the council accountable for its behavior. But the secrecy and apparent incompetence of this year's election commission has left us wondering: Was this a fair election? At the very least...
...since the time of [Kenesaw Mountain] Landis," said then commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti in 1989, referring to the commissioner who cleaned up the 1919 Black Sox scandal. Confronted with this evidence, Rose agreed to a lifetime ban from the sport but didn't specifically admit to betting on baseball. Implicit in the agreement, according to former commissioner Fay Vincent and others convinced that Rose bet on baseball, is the fact that the only act punishable by a lifetime ban is baseball's cardinal sin: gambling on the game...

Lewis '68 into a mere bedfellow...
...epidemic in its earliest stages contributed to its becoming the major American public health catastrophe of this and perhaps any other century. Despite repeated entreaties from the Centers for Disease Control, Reagan adamantly refused to discuss the epidemic or permit any of his public health officials to do so. Implicit here was the perception that these people--gay men, intravenous drug users and immigrants (though of course the victims were never limited to these groups)--were acceptable victims. Their deaths, for Reagan, constituted a national cleansing...
