...Solzhenitsyn, crying eloquent crocodile tears over Afghanistan and Eastern Europe, would attribute it all to 63 years of evil Communism rather than old Russian imperialism.

...drift and disarray that have characterized the Administration's economic policy over the past three years. As Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker and Treasury Secretary G. William Miller fiddle with the depressing statistics, Carter seems able to do little more than cast his eyes heavenward.

"There is no question that the history department seriously underutilizes women," Phyllis Keller, Equal Employment Opportunity Officer for the Faculty, said recently. The department's decision to deny promotion to Mary Nolan is an example...
