Although Harvard president's reports, particularly under former president Derek C. Bok, have often been used as a forum to address the national politics of education, Rudenstine, true to his academic roots, grounded his case for diversity not in terms of current political exigencies, but in philosophy; he addresses the views of John Stuart Mill, not Newt Gingrich...

While that knowledge might provide scant comfort to some, for Susan Small, mother of two of the Little Rascals victims, seeing the abuses aired in a public forum has been vengeance enough.

Development-USA collateralized the 1994 loan, Barbour was advised of plans to seek overseas funds for the National Policy Forum. Last week the G.O.P. refunded $122,400 in Young Bros. campaign money, conceding its illegal Hong Kong origins.
