President Bush may wave away Democratic critics of domestic eavesdropping, but one challenger is proving harder to dismiss: Heather Wilson, a plainspoken Air Force veteran from New Mexico and four-term G.O.P. Congresswoman little known outside of national-security circles. As chair of the House subcommittee that authorizes technical intelligence, she has waged a behind-the-scenes battle for access to information about the controversial surveillance program since word of it leaked in December. She won a significant victory last week. After she called for a full investigation of the spying, the White House ended 54 days of stonewalling...
...your inspiration for Madea--Flip Wilson's Geraldine, Mrs. Doubtfire or Sanford and Son's Aunt Esther? She's based on all of those people, plus Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence characters.

Freshman Becky Christensen and sophomore Lindsey Scherf also came away with top finishes for the Crimson women, winning the high jump and the 3000-meter run, respectively. On the men’s side, senior Travis Hughes defeated Matt Brock of Princeton...
...seconds remaining. And though Dave Watters put the Crimson up again with a high strike off the faceoff, giving the Crimson a 2-1 advantage with four seconds left in the first frame, the Tigers (9-14-1, 6-10-1) evened the score in the second when Brett Wilson knocked a rebound past Harvard goaltender John Daigneau. Nineteen minutes into the second period, Du gave the Crimson another lead, cashing in on the power play from the close left circle and celebrating the 3-2 score with a fist pump. Princeton clawed its way back into the game...
