...predictable that those who hold the staff's views will decry Bok's lack of activism over the last two decades. But it was terribly naive for The Crimson of 20 years ago to think Bok would have been chosen if he were anything except a politician willing to sacrifice "the right values" for a drink of the intoxicating wine of power and prestige. When Harvard appoints Bok's successor, let us hope The Crimson will have gained some cynicism about the difference between what politicians say and what they...
There have been signs of trouble at Today since early 1989, when someone leaked a memo in which Gumbel attacked almost all his colleagues except Pauley. After that, it was hard to maintain the fiction that the Today crew was a happy family, and analysts began to note that while Today was first in the ratings, Good Morning America was stealing the young female audience most prized by advertisers.

Moving to reduce the carnage, which has claimed three candidates so far, the government last week recommended that the rest cancel any remaining public appearances. All complied, except Social Conservative Party candidate Rodrigo Lloreda Caicedo, who opposes extradition of narcotics criminals. Front runner Cesar Gaviria Trujillo, the Liberal Party candidate, favors continued extradition and no negotiations with the drug rings. He is No. 1 on the Medellin cartel's hit list...
