...unstinting generosity of our alumni--of time, energy, money and intellectual resources--is essential to maintaining the excellence of the institution and it has been a longstanding policy of the University to admit the son or daughter of an alumnus when all other factors are substantially equal. We believe that this policy has been carried out fairly and evenly over the years and that the children of alumni are not only well qualified academically, as the OCR report indicated, but also perform in outstanding ways throughout their careers here...
...this year, although the U.S. has given Panama $130 million to pay off arrears on its $5 billion foreign debt, Washington has laid out only $70 million in direct aid. "What we're giving them is not even equal to direct damages caused by the invasion," says former U.S. Ambassador Ambler Moss, who estimates the destruction's price tag to be $1 billion. Meanwhile, the surge in global oil prices has dealt the country an unexpected and potentially disastrous blow.

When I came to the U.S. in 1978, I believed that America had long since resolved its racial problems, that blacks were equal citizens. In many ways, I found that to be true. The U.S. seemed to be a hundred years ahead of South Africa. Then I discovered, to my horror, that not much had changed in people's hearts. White people's attitudes toward blacks have changed very little since the days of lynchings. Without that change, laws are relatively impotent. In many towns, there is a black world and a white world. I told my friends that...
