...found to have authorized secret warrant-free wiretapping of Americans. In 2004, a proposal made its way through the Department of Education policy chain to establish a government database to keep track of everything from academic records to sports teams. Supposedly designed to better track students’ progress and help improve educational developments, the plan included no way for students to opt out of being tracked. With the renewal of the Patriot Act, citizens must be forewarned. The passage of this legislation makes way for less privacy and more for overly intrusive probing of private citizens’ everyday...
MARTINEZ: I'm very skeptical of the recent reporting that suggests any kind of pullback or U-turn [of women in the workforce]. I think the progress will continue in terms of greater equality in professional fields. I think, anytime you have progress, there are periods of sort of assimilating and digesting the things that have occurred. I think, when people look at traditional employment data, it doesn't sufficiently take into account nontraditional forms of employment that occur with both genders. That's why there's been a lot of debate about some of the unemployment statistics in recent...
...arrives, at least he'll be comfortable. Patterson spends most of the year in Palm Beach, three blocks from a world-class golf course. His backyard is the Intracoastal Waterway.

But it's at least a bit of a con--he's read practically everything, and he gets a sly kick out of reminding you of that. He references both Ibsen and Crichton, Joan Didion...
Last Thursday was as good a day as any to chart Hillary Clinton's steady progress from junior Senator to Democratic presidential front runner. She attended a press conference on port security in the morning, had lunch with some eBay executives, did an event about kids and car safety with New Hampshire Republican Senator John Sununu and then attended the promotion ceremony of a female Army officer on loan to her staff. Later that evening she joined Republican Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi to talk to CNN about their joint plan to make the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) independent...
...complete solution; For starters, I’ve completely disregarded the parallel concern of improving and expanding the pool of faculty advisors, who would and should continue to offer formal academic guidance to freshmen, to sign their study cards, and so on. There’s no question that progress must be made here as well, but a successful advising relationship with a faculty member would complement the far more important relationship between freshmen and their upperclass advisors and big siblings...
