...racial--in the upper ranks of organizations. Prejudice stems largely from ignorance, which we are often accustomed to think of as intellectual ignorance. But ignorance also means unfamiliarity. Since these executives had deliberately kept minorities out of the top ranks, they were not used to working with them on equal status. Texaco did have an official affirmative action policy; had it actually ensured that minorities were at the top as well, Texaco could not have instituted a glass ceiling. They would not have had to work so hard now to remedy the situation...
...could say that this election was indeed "stolen." Claiming the center ground and painting the opposition as extreme is a standard campaign strategy, but it is a game the Republicans have played much better than the Democrats until this year. For the Democrats to play it suddenly with equal success does seem almost like cheating. Two things made this possible. Republicans are happy enough to credit Clinton's enormous political skill: it's a way of denying any larger message from Dole's defeat. But the Republicans' own hubris was equally important.

Rose, we are to understand, is so desperate that she goes along with him, thinking that once they're married, his resistance to her will break down. "Richard LaGravenese is one of the few screenwriters left who can write smart...
...unquestionably the most famous--and high priced--artist in America," says Hughes, who appraises a new Johns retrospective at New York City's Museum of Modern Art in this week's issue. "The question is whether his work over the past 20 years will be seen as the equal of the paintings--like the flags and the targets--that made his reputation 40 years ago. I wonder if it will be." Hughes' own reputation, meanwhile, continues to grow. His new TV series, American Visions, is now airing in Britain to boffo reviews. In the U.S., it is set to debut...
