...whether they have ever been arrested," bemoans a senior hiring executive of one Manhattan bank. "We can ask if they have ever been convicted of the crimes of breach of trust or theft because they are considered relevant to the job. But we cannot ask about rape or murder convictions because you cannot show a relationship between those and the job qualifications." Larry Vickery, director of employment relations for General Motors, joked that affirmative action guidelines are so complex that a company "might as well hire sight unseen on a quota basis...
...concerns now belong to a distant, tamer era. Yet one aspect of the production looks as daring today as it did in 1957: Jerome Robbins' choreography. When the rival gangs, the white Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks, dance their way through rumbles, murders and even a near rape, one rediscovers Robbins' extraordinary contribution to the American theater.

Her guess is that the fantasy is built around the early memory of a powerful mother and the universal male frustration with women's naysaying to men's sexual overtures...
...Soviet envoy's hypocrisy seemed to anger McHenry. Asked by a reporter after the debate whether the Soviets had abstained rather than vetoing the resolution because of a secret deal with the U.S., he snapped: "That is an obscene accusation. A country that is engaged in the rape of another country would be ill-advised to use its veto...
