Mr. Coleman has largely stayed out of the limelight since the state's Supreme...

The sun glints off the dome while kids play on the grass, but on the State House steps there is nobody except for a couple of my friends — and me, holding a ridiculously-large stack of...
There was a day when Harvard University appointed only intelligent, honest, and brainy people as "teaching fellows." No more. The latest Harvard employee?

The very same Norm Coleman who abused his position as chairman of a Senate subcommittee to lodge baseless charges against a British Member of Parliament when he was far across the...
