Swann's candidacy, Republicans say, could not only pose a threat to Rendell but also help Senator Rick Santorum, who faces a tough re-election battle in 2006, by boosting G.O.P. turnout and diverting Democratic resources.

...motto “Veritas,” inspires academic exploration. A university or an organization like the U.C. that stifles academic debate has no purpose. For members of the Harvard community to attack the right of the President of the University to ask questions and pose hypotheses denies students the kind of academic atmosphere that they deserve. Students should not be afraid to say something because it may offend people who disagree with them. For the U.C. to fail to even consider the legislation denies students the opportunity for discussion, questions, and debate about this issue on the floor...
