·

Political science, a field widely studied by AU students, is not worth federal support according to Sen. Tom A. Coburn, R-Okla., who proposed an amendment to cancel its funding Oct. 7.

MORE MONEY, NO PROBLEMS — Josh Tetrick, former staffer to President Bill Clinton and Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, spoke Oct. 23 on how to thrive financially and make a positive difference in the world. “This is not a story about charity,” he said. “This is a story about how you can thrive.”

Will primetime TV news lose all of its objectivity?

Opinion

Congress is totally sold to corporate interests. Let’s hope Obama isn’t.

Despite what you may think, the economy has recovered. On Oct. 14, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the best barometer of the stock market, hit 10,000. There has been much criticism that while the Dow has passed 10,000, unemployment will likely soon reach 10 percent. Many have heaped scorn on Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke’s recent statement that the recession is “very likely over.”
