Finally, of course, there are the academic enforcers of political correctness, or "p.c.," whose efforts have received widespread publicity but who remain, in many cases, undaunted. In Vermont the distinguished essayist Edward Hoagland was abruptly dismissed as a part-time lecturer at Bennington College. The reason? Student activists convinced school authorities that an article Hoagland had written for Esquire, in which he argued that the spread of AIDS was owing partly to a "gale of often icy promiscuity," was homophobic and therefore deserved severe punishment. To be sure, Hoagland got his teaching job at Bennington back after an investigation showed...
...Marcus Thompson, Oxfam's emergencies director: "We are going flat out everywhere." What about a multinational force independent of the U.N.? The belated but effective intervention in Bangladesh by 12,000 U.S. soldiers suggests that a military-style operation might be the answer. In the Washington Post, columnist Jim Hoagland called on the U.S. to use its armed forces for other emergencies in the future. Yet developing countries often balk at U.S. intervention.

"It may be the jewel in the crown of the church," he says of the paper, "but you have to have a crown to have a jewel." The more the Monitor diversifies into other media, says...
...former management consultant who helped broker the merger between American Motors Corp. and Renault, Hoagland reflects a view that seems to be sweeping the newspaper industry. Confronted by a long-term slump in circulation and intensifying competition with other media for advertising revenue, many newspaper executives are beginning to demand that editors join the management team rather than pit themselves against it. Editors, they say, can no longer afford to stay aloof from such down-and-dirty concerns as advertising, circulation, production and revenues. "The role of the newspaper editor today has changed," says Robert Giles, vice president and executive...
