...unfortunate that Mansfield could not help clouding the issue by attributing Harvard's grade inflation to affirmative action programs. Last week, during a Government 1061 lecture, Mansfield himself noted that history is often nothing but a collection of mere "details" that detract from the larger issue at hand. Indeed, the issue at hand is that of grade inflation, and it matters not how Harvard College found itself in this predicament. What matters is admitting its existence, convincing ourselves of its dangers and resolving to reverse the trend...
...true that osteoporosis strikes women with much greater frequency than men--in some studies as much as four to six times as often. But that's no reason to brush it off as "their" disease. It's a mere stroke of gender luck that men's bones tend to grow larger, stronger and denser.

...while he receded? How will the bizarre dynamic of the Clinton marriage express itself now that she's the one in power? Clinton's a marvel of the age. But is Hillary? No one could be married to Bill Clinton for so many years without certain survival skills. But mere endurance is not enough. Watching the Clintons march on, and on, and on is an existential experience. There has not been a couple quite so tedious and ghastly since Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir...
