...stage for what may be the greatest clash of courts in American history. As the U.S. Supreme Court considers the case this week, the debate will be phrased in legal niceties: deference to state courts vs. deference to state legislatures; Article II of the U.S. Constitution and 3 U.S.C. Sec. 5. But beneath the law talk is a power struggle of epic proportions. The stakes could hardly be higher. How the U.S. Supreme Court rules could, of course, determine the next President of the United States. But something even larger is hanging in the balance: whether Americans will continue...

It was not clear, the U.S. court said, that the Florida justices adequately took into account two federal laws that speak to that point: Article II of the U.S. Constitution, which authorizes state legislatures to determine the "manner" of selecting electors, and 3 U.S.C.

As in Culpepper's first-ever start, when, realizing that the Chicago Bears were lying back and waiting for him to make passing mistakes, Culpepper tucked...
While any team has a chance in the Ivy--parity is the name of the game--the Crimson's non-conference schedule will undoubtedly prepare it for the rigors of Ivy League weekends. Harvard plays two road games against the SEC, the strongest top-to-bottom conference in women's basketball. The Crimson will take on No. 26 Florida at a Maine invitational on Nov. 24. In late December, Harvard seniors will be looking for revenge against Arkansas, the team that stopped the Crimson in the 1998 NCAA tournament after the historic upset over Stanford...
