Kevin Cathcart is among a very select group of Americans: those who have witnessed their U.S. Supreme Court justices contemplating sodomy -- not once but twice. He was there in 1986 when oral arguments led to a ruling that upheld sodomy laws, a devastating blow to the then-nascent American gay rights movement. And he was there again last spring for arguments that set the stage for the movement's greatest judicial victory on June 26 -- the high court's reversal of its own earlier ruling.

Susan C. Schwab, who stepped down in the spring as dean of the University of Maryland's School of Public Affairs to accept a high position in the Bush administration, has given up on the political job and won't be returning quickly to a leadership role at the University of Maryland. If she wants her job as dean back, she will have to go through the application process again, a university spokesman said yesterday. "We've reached the point now where we're in the process of looking for a new dean," said George Cathcart, the spokesman for the University of Maryland.

COLLEGE PARK -- On the gray drizzly morning after Maryland's semifinal NCAA basketball victory, smashed-in windows and boarded-up doors competed for attention at a busy campus crossroads with banners and flags showing the school's fierce turtle mascot. In the few open stores, students fresh from spring break and in a celebratory mood plunked down cash for anything red and reptilian -- even as they expressed embarrassment over their fellow fans' riotous behavior the night before. Shortly after midnight, about an hour after a nail-biter of a game in which the Terps beat the Kansas Jayhawks, 97-88, a good-natured, cheering crowd of about 500 revelers turned into the ugly mob that police had feared.
