...thousands of (other clubs) do the same thing. Financiai elitism is protected by our laws, gender elitism is not." Gender discrimination is clearly practiced by the clubs: none of the nine presently admit women. Some would say this is an issue which would fall within the bounds of an argument on the interpretation of constitutional law, around the definition of the right of free association. I can't say if this is true, because I'm not a lawyer. Harvard's clubs, composed of roughly 5 percent of the undergraduate student body, could hardly be called "integral" to the Harvard...
...much more of an idealist than a cynic," Bochco says, "more of an optimist than a pessimist." To be sure, his own life is one argument for the possibility of having it all.

In drawings like Black Tulip May 23, 1983, he gives his shapes an admirable, embodied decisiveness: you sense that they have all been the subject of hard aesthetic argument. The tulip stems swoon like Margot Fonteyn's neck; the leaves fairly crackle with graphic energy. At times in the configuration of one of Sultan's flowers, one sees a sly reference to Matisse's odalisques...
...Jonathan Martin, the Co-Chairman of E4D, explains it, seniors who donate to the Class Gift are "implicitly benefiting the immorally invested endowment," because the money seniors give to the Class Gift obviates the necessity to withdraw such money from the endowment. Their argument would have it that anyone who contributes to the Class Gift is passively supporting University investment policies...
