Leading Off (4/7/09)

1.

2. Southwest Airlines will begin service to New York on June 28, and by service we mean you only have to make nine stops to get there from Love Field.

3. TCU will set aside campus housing for “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender students and allies – heterosexual classmates who support them.” No word on how they’re going to resolve the fact that most gays and lesbians annoy each other.
