That was when the release of some 3,000 documents by the Justice Department increased speculation that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales may be out of a job soon. On Tuesday morning, a White House spokesperson told TIME that President Bush had spoken by telephone with Gonzales this morning for several minutes, and that Bush expressed "complete support" for his embattled appointee. "They had a very good conversation and discussed the U.S. attorney situation," said the White House spokesperson, who went...
...College tried to change this year. Travia said the increased policing efforts were successful. “In the past, there was no way to distinguish underage students,” he said.

The pairing of the sixth-ranked Crmison with the Badgers, the tournament’s top seed, reflects the desire of the selection committee to avoid intra-conference matchups, as the coupling of Harvard with its logical opponent, No. 3 Dartmouth, would have...
...Harvard men’s lacrosse team will be without its leading scorer from last year for the second straight game as the Crimson (0-1) travels to Stony Brook (0-1) to for a 1 p.m. road-showdown tomorrow in Long Island. Senior attackman Evan Calvert, whose sprained ankle kept him out of Sunday’s 13-4 season-opening loss at Ohio State, will once again be on the sideline. Junior attackman Liam Griff, who led the Crimson with two goals in the opener, will make his second career start in Calvert’s place...
