As Other Republican Senators Bolt, Lindsey Graham Cozies Up to Trump

By MICHAEL D. SHEAR and SHERYL GAY STOLBERG

Senator Lindsey Graham, once the target of President Trump's barbs, is suddenly his cheerleader, even as other like-minded Republicans recoil from Mr. Trump.
The dog subdued and obviously frightened, knowing something to be wrong. Marx [his dog] is also like this during raids, i.e. subdued and uneasy. Some dogs, however, go wild and savage during a raid and have had to be shot. They allege here, and E. says the same thing about Greenwich, that all the dogs in the park now bolt for home when they hear the siren. - See more at: http://ww2today.com/featured/diaries-of-world-war-ii#sthash.S7Yrsj8P.dpuf

Hadid's first completed project in the U.S. was a contemporary-art museum that occupies its corner site like a locomotive in motion.

CUTTING STUDENT AID IS LIKE ‘EATING OUR OWN SEED CORN’
Dennis Berkey, president and CEO of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, blogs for The Washington Post: Cutting aid to low-income students would be a form of eating our own seed corn. These programs contribute mightily to our nation’s bottom line. They create highly skilled workers. They stimulate our economy. They even help create jobs. Clearly, it is time for a reminder as to why these programs are so vital. While the economic impact of these programs is critical, the social impact may be even more important. During the past 30 years, social mobility in America has become stagnant, with a tiny minority taking an increasingly large share of economic wealth, and a growing segment of our population completely closed off from college. The success of the American Dream, its very existence even, depends on our collective ability to throw open the doors of higher education.

Thatcher, almost alone, would not accept what was happening. "I can't bear Britain in decline, I just can't," she blurted shortly before she became prime minister. Nowadays, those words sound unremarkable—which is the ultimate tribute to what she achieved. For, at the time, the almost unanimous view of the Establishment was that the slide was irreversible and that the purpose of politics was to make it as painless as possible.

 Initially Anglia Polytechnic University (APU), it retained the word 'polytechnic' in its title because "the term 'polytechnic' still had value to students and their potential employers, symbolising as it did the sort of education that they were known for – equipping students with effective practical skills for the world of work"[1] although in 2000 there was some self-doubt about including the term 'polytechnic' – it was the last university in the country to have done so. Wanting to keep the 'APU' abbreviation, a suggestion put forward by the governors was 'Anglia Prior University' (after a former Chancellor), but the Governors decided to keep 'polytechnic' in the title.
