In 1993, George Anastasia says, Philadelphia mob boss John Stanfa ordered his death. The plan was supposedly to throw grenades through the windows of Anastasia's New Jersey home. However, his life was saved when his would-be killers landed behind bars before they had a chance to whack him.
When the fall elections roll around next month, citizens will hold Republicans accountable for the page sex scandal.
It's safe to say that Sunday's win didn't go the way men's soccer coach Rudy Fuller had planned. Penn generally likes to nip a goal early and hold off its opponent's charge late on.

Penn must show some responsibility for the working conditions of its guards.
Bill Berner compares himself to Igor, the famed lab assistant to Dr. Frankenstein. Both toil in windowless basement laboratories - though Berner's is in David Rittenhouse Laboratory, not Bavaria. Berner, like Igor, concocts things that buzz, fizz and bang, although the professors he works with aren't insane; they're in Penn's Physics department.
This year, budding entrepreneurs competing for thousands of dollars worth of prizes in the Wharton Business Plan Competition need to fulfill an additional criterion - they must be Indian.

A quick fix for Penn InTouch isn't going to make class registration any easier, officials say, but neither will just talking about it.

Just as a rubber bracelet fad struck America a few years ago, terra cotta ornaments were all the range in ancient India, one anthropologist says.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - On Saturday night, Harold Ford Jr. was in fine form. Saturday marked the first debate in the Tennessee Senate race - a race that may decide which party controls the Senate come January - and Ford, the Democrat and a 1992 College graduate, certainly had his own style.
