Kerry Getting Some Area GOP Support
Frank Colon and Ted Morgan, professors of political science at Lehigh University, were quoted in an article about how same-sex marriage could push conservative Democrats to Bush's side. Bush favors a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage; Kerry opposes same-sex marriage but supports civil unions. People get confused on it, said Frank Colon, a political science professor at Lehigh University. Some, said Colon, think Kerry favors gay marriage, but the senator gets trapped, partially because his home state is Massachusetts, the first to issue licenses to gay couples. Ted Morgan, a professor of political science at Lehigh, says he's not surprised that a Republican group in support of Kerry would crop up in Bucks County. Bucks (County) is kind of interesting. It's kind of progressive,” he said.

Italy Trip Weighed in Crane Fatalities
Lehigh University was mentioned in an article about the I-280 bridge. A prosecutor and police investigator may soon fly overseas to “authenticate documentation” on whether the Italian manufacturer warned that failure to correctly anchor its 900-ton construction crane used in the new I-280 bridge project could result in its collapse, the article said. Among those items might be a report from Lehigh University, where specialists have studied steel fractures from the crumpled crane, or data from the crane’s computerized control box, which may have recorded critical information about the crane’s movements in the moments before its failure. Removed from the wreckage several days later, data from the control box may have been ruined by the collapse or by the weather. Four ironworkers were killed and four other men were injured Feb. 16 when the truss crane manufactured by Paolo de Nicola collapsed in East Toledo.
