A Harvard University student's novel has been permanently withdrawn and her book deal canceled, publisher Little, Brown and Co. announced Tuesday, as allegations of plagiarism proliferated.

Revived, HUD Tests The Limits

For much of the last decade, the Department of Housing and Urban Development got attention in all the wrong ways. Riddled by waste, fraud, and corruption and alternately ignored and abused by Congress, the Cabinet-level agency has spent much of the last dozen years fighting for its life.
