...Florida's law school, he worked as a prosecutor and a federal bankruptcy judge before being appointed to the circuit court in 1989 by Republican governor Bob Martinez. Two events shaped Sauls' life: the 1993 death of his 16-year-old daughter in a car accident, and a local scandal in 1998, when the state supreme court removed him as the circuit's chief judge for his "continuing disruption in the administration of justice." He had been accused of playing favorites and unfairly firing the local court administrator. He stayed on as a judge but kept a low profile - until...
...Science Center. Not since the last issue of The Lampoon has there been a sight less funny than the signs protesting women's suffrage that were hoisted by overly intoxicated initiates this week. (Yeah, and it was offensive and misogynistic too.) Not since last year's chicken scandal (when Phoenix Club hopefuls were required to keep live chickens in their dorm rooms for a week) have we had such vivid reminders of why final clubs are the most intellectually challenged organizations on campus. Not since last year's final club punch season have we seen our normally nice Harvard guys...
Over the last 10 years this theory has been born out in the press. The great chicken scandal of '99 was only the latest in a series of disturbing events in the history of final clubs.

We already see plenty of the world of White House staffers, after all, every time an insider quits and writes an overremunerated memoir. But the Court, now there's an intriguing world. The sex-scandal-haunted black conservative! The mysterious, John Cage-like nebbish who infuriates his Republican sponsors by going liberal on them! The plucky woman jurist coming back from cancer! Make 'em all 40 years younger and tighten up those robes and you've got ratings gold. POTUS, make room for SCOTUS...
...need all the help he can get, Fox's room for maneuver is exceedingly narrow. For starters, some 80 percent of his national budget is already spoken for in paying off external debt and the residue of Mexico's banking scandal, which will devour about $5 billion in interest. That gives him little to spend on efforts to promote economic growth, which remains his overarching priority. But even if he had the money to spend, he'd have to contend with the fact that he lacks a majority in the legislature, and most state governors still belong...
