By Jordan Goldstein | Feb. 6, 2005, midnight | In Print »
Junior Sarah Janesko leans against the wall. Her hands are in her lap, immobile, while she talks about her nervous habit. As she explains how hard it is to stop, one hand slowly rises to her mouth. "Darn. I'm doing it right now," she jokes, realizing what she was about to do. However, what Janesko, a nail-biter, doesn't realize is that her habit is far from trivial.

On Jan. 7, light was shed on this hypocrisy, as USA Today reported that a government agency, the Department of Education (DOE), had spent $241,000 to bribe conservative talk show host Armstrong Williams into promoting the president's No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) on his radio show and in his columns.

Blair conquered by Vikings
By Anthony Glynn | Feb. 5, 2005, midnight | In Print »
The Blazers were at a disadvantage from the beginning. Because of an injury, an argument and an inability to make weight, attend practices or stay eligible, Blair lacked five strong varsity wrestlers as they faced Whitman today. The weather outside was emblematic of the Blazer's 10-72 loss as the day was the last of a cold season and already the sunny team was melting away the snow of inexperience that had left them blinded and slipping throughout their 2-12 season.
