When, at the Washington summit in December, Gorbachev signed the treaty eliminating intermediate-range nuclear missiles, he received more credit for accepting the zero option than Reagan got for having proposed it in 1981. Gorbachev achieved, as part of the deal, the long-standing Soviet aim of forcing the removal of all U.S. missiles from Europe. Congressional concerns about some details of that treaty led the Senate last week to postpone ratification, but in Geneva last Thursday, Secretary Shultz and Foreign Minister Shevardnadze seemed to have cleared up the remaining points of ambiguity. There is still deep suspicion...
...depth of Bennett's biases is exhibited by his claim that the aim of Stanford's "Cultures, Ideas, and Values"--studying works by and concerning women and minorities alongside established Western masterpieces--"Trivializes the entire purpose" of education. The Bible and the thoughts of Plato naturally deserve study, but such texts as the Koran and the writings of Confucius can not be ignored, presenting new perspectives, and representing major literary and spiritual schools of thought.

Nevertheless, we think that her work will emerge a positive one for both the University and the Fraternity, for finally we are able to at least partially present our views and objectives. Thus...
...Rolls-Royce. The company's success is a classic lesson in the value of patience and persistence, as the design of a new jet engine is a devilishly long-term process that can consume at least five years and more than $1 billion. GE took a more astute aim at the aircraft market of the future, while Pratt & Whitney failed to develop a full range of quieter and more fuel-efficient models. GE's strategy is paying off. Last year its aircraft-engine division earned profits of $940 million on revenues of $6.8 billion...
