- She lost on Jeopardy!, baby. Margaret Spellings, the U.S. secretary of education, finished second in her round of Celebrity Jeopardy! last week. She lost to the guy who played Lenny on the ’70s sitcom Laverne and Shirley.
- College leaders take to blogging. A New York Times article about how college presidents are using blogs to communicate with students and alumni.
- Spamalot, the college edition.
