Such odd and offbeat problems are constantly cropping up in the week's news. For TIME'S editors they often offer the unexpected angle or provoke the added insight that can give a story new vitality. A sampling from this week's issue...
...equally important impediment to the effectiveness of the COH is its age. The members are basically out of touch with the present, our present. Once again, parietals provides insight to the workings of the Committee. Not only were its views contrary to the students', but they also conflicted with the general opinion of the faculty.

The truth is, I'm not trying to be a racist at all, but to give the best insight I can into a very painful subject....I'm not an activist, I'm a scholar. I wouldn't have agreed to teach this course if I didn't think it would be a scholarly contribution. I'd like to run this as a Harvard course, as a subject for serious study.
