...called "review" of Patterson's course was not just racially "insensitive." It was blatantly and grossly racist. To consider it potentially humorous to make a mockery of ethnic characteristics is not mere insensitivity; it is a familiar and disgusting element of real racism. Patterson and the rest of the Harvard community deserve something better than the weak and weasel-worded offerings that you have provided...
...formulas: idealistic lawyers, precocious five-year-olds and family shows with interchangeably generic titles (The Family Man, Married People and Sons and Daughters -- try telling them apart). It is also the hollowness of the supposedly innovative stuff. The game this season is to grab the audience's attention, to make shows stand out from the crowd in some way.

I have never heard of a New York Chamber of Commerce...

Last week Manville announced a plan to replenish the trust's cash supply in a stock deal that will provide as much as $520 million for settling claims over a seven-year period. But the company will not make the new money available until the end of next year. At the moment, with much of the trust's income dependent on future Manville profits, victims filing now are being told they may have to wait until 2015 to see their first payments...
