...perhaps no mere coincidence that as the rest of the country prepares to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, Summers will decide whether or not to take the necessary steps to ensure that Harvard’s low-wage service workers, overwhelmingly people of color and immigrants, will never be left to work for poverty wages in the future. Just days before Harvard’s janitors officially launch contract negotiations, Summers will have the opportunity to do King’s memory proud. A real commitment to the dignity of the many faces of color...
Think, Mr. Carswell (wherever you are), think, all of you: Imagine the situation of your grader. (Unless he is of the Wheatstone Bridge-double differential CH3C6H2(NO2)3 set. These people are mere cogs; automata; they simply feel to make sure you have punched the right holes. As they cannot think, they cannot be impressed; they are clods. The only way to beat their system is to cheat.) In the humanities and social sciences, it is well to remember, there is a man (occasionally a woman), a human type filling out your picture postcard.

Harvard led Princeton by one with moments to go when Kyle Wente hit a desperation three-pointer at the buzzer to give the Tigers...
...plan, Congress hopes, will be cheaper and easier to implement, and less likely to incur the talk-show ire of civil libertarians and states' rights purists (the same type who squawked in 1908 when the FBI was born). But the approach is mere stealth - 50 different state ID cards all linked together is pretty much the same as one national ID card, just as all those new quarters are still worth 25 cents each, no matter which state is on the back...
...While federal prosecutors have until March 29th to decide if they will request the death penalty, most consider the deadline a mere formality. Less certain is the strength of the actual case against Moussaoui - and how well the six charges will stand up against legal scrutiny. Some experts consider the case largely circumstantial, citing the lack of hard evidence against Moussaoui. The case, they argue, is based primarily on allegations that Mousssaoui's behavior followed patterns similar that of the actual hijackers: attending flight training school, inquiring into crop dusting procedures, and apparently receiving funding from Ramsey bin al-Shied...
