...Males have not, as a rule, joined Kingsolver's fan clubs, and this novel suggests a reason: They are seldom the central figures in the author?s world. Although Deanna and Lusa never meet, they share subterranean female experiences. Both recognize that men are attracted to them, unknowingly, because of pheromones; both ovulate in synch with the full moon. On a steamy, "oversexed" Fourth of July evening, Lusa feels her widow's grief subsiding as her male in-laws play with fireworks: "We're only what we are: a woman cycling with the moon, and a tribe of men trying...
First and foremost, the next president should be willing to spend more money on the students. With the University's endowment having reached the $19 billion mark, it is time for the University to spend more money on undergraduates. Although the next president should be fiscally prudent enough to ensure the University's financial security for the new millenium, there must be room in the budget to increase the amount spent on a per-student basis. Despite the University's outright lead in the amount of the endowment, Harvard trails several other schools in the amount spent per student. This...

Moreover, although Bush only began to use the word "fuzzy'' recently, his record as governor of Texas demonstrates a long and storied history of unfuzzy policy decisions. For example, in the spring of 1999, he pushed a $2 billion tax cut through the Texas legislature, a move which he has often trumpeted as evidence of his opposition to taxation. In fact, this was a spectacular example of unfuzzy policy: The cut, which came mostly out of property and sales taxes, was directed straight at the wealthiest Texans, and was financed in part by a $250 million cut in the education...
...longer work at Harvard, but I am not difficult to find, so I was surprised to learn that although the reporter recently contacted other former employees, some for the second time, he neither contacted me again nor quoted any of my comments to him last spring. The article would have been much more balanced and accurate had he investigated more thoroughly the support and guidance that Dean Nathans has given to both students and employees over the years. For example, I told the reporter last spring that I had found Dean Nathans to be "extremely supportive" of her staff...
