...these new classes may prove to be fascinating electives, a smorgasbord of diverse and arcane courses does not an educated woman or man make. The Core has settled in snugle as little more than a 26-page supplement to the already voluminous (766-page) course catalogue. Despite the media hype, it appears that after a half-decade of task force reports, interdepartmental committees and Faculty votes, all that is left, as one professor puts it, is Rosovsky parading before academia and the press in an emperor's new clothes...

To help rescue the Olympics from their present distress, in which this nation is unavoidably an accomplice, the U.S. might...
...that he is able and philosophically amenable to coercing corporate power into turning an eye off profits and onto the needs of the unemployed and needy. Critics equate Sullivan's view of his principles with that of the corporations which use the guidelines to their advantage. But the corporations hype their endorsement of the principles, implying that they are an end in themselves, while Sullivan sees them as a first step in an ongoing process...
