COLUMBIA
HOSTS A THUG
New York PostHaving been summarily
denied his wish for an officially sanctioned visit to Ground Zero, Iranian
despot Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is headed for Columbia University - where he's
set to be welcomed with open arms. That Columbia would want to offer a
platform to such a bloody handed villain - one who, to this day, presides
over a country that's directly abetting the murder of U.S. soldiers in
Iraq - says much about the state of Ivy League education.

our "war on terrorism," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a strategic
ally of al-Qaida, is flying into New York to speak at the United Nations.
My preference would be to let him come, then have he and his entire

NASA
spacecraft finds possible Mars cavesAn orbiting
spacecraft has found evidence of what look like seven caves on the slopes
of a Martian volcano, the space agency NASA said on Friday. The Mars
Odyssey spacecraft has sent back images of very dark, nearly circular
features that appear to be openings to underground spaces. "They are

Rising
seas likely to flood U.S. history
SETH BORENSTEINIn
about a century, some of the places that make America what it is may be
slowly erased. Global warming — through a combination of melting glaciers,
disappearing ice sheets and warmer waters expanding — is expected to cause
oceans to rise by one meter, or about 39 inches. It will happen regardless
of any future actions to curb greenhouse gases, several leading scientists
say. And it will reshape the nation.

California that sought to hold the world's six largest automakers
