...temptation of lucrative work elsewhere. The stiff new codes governing outside work recently approved by the council leave no doubt that a professor's overriding commitment should be to the University. In requiring professors to disclose all "potentially serious" conflicts to a new committee, the council will doubtless inspire many professors to report their outside involvements and seek the new committee's advice. That alone would represent a commendable change; under existing guidelines that only "encourage" consultation with University officials, virtually no professors have disclosed their extracurricular activities...
...happy about the modern judiciary's penchant for the sort of activism that has prompted some federal judges, like Frank Johnson of Alabama, to take over the administration of prisons or busing programs as a way of guaranteeing constitutional rights. For this reason Sandra Day O'Connor doubtless pleased the New Right when, on the eve of her confirmation as the first woman on the Supreme Court, she declared that "the proper role of the judiciary is one of interpreting and applying the law, not making it."

Neither Shaw nor Lerner ever indicated that the professor and the flower girl would wind up in a clinch, but the possibility, which...
...Plains, Ga., to see his "deep friend." The reunion was all harmony and grits. Out on the old softball field, with Rosalynn and Jehan looking on, Jimmy presented Sadat with a glass sculpture of a laurel wreath. Sadat was at his gracious best, although Carter's detractors will doubtless delight in misconstruing his words. Said he: "Jimmy Carter has left his fingerprints on the history...
