Grand Avenue, premiering on HBO June 30 at 8 p.m. EDT (with later play dates as well), is indeed a rarity. It depicts a family of Native Americans, a culture seldom if ever explored on TV outside Discovery-channel documentaries. Displaced from a reservation to a gang-infested California town, Mollie (Sheila Tousey), the widowed matriarch, tries to quell her rage with drink; but the story ultimately belongs to her eldest daughter Justine (Deeny Dakota), who is battling her own history of despair. The teenager has never known her natural father, but when she finds him, her pain is deepened...
...Morris seldom speaks to reporters, but he gets into hot water all the time. He leaked White House polling data to Bob Dole's campaign last January in a botched attempt to lure Dole into making a budget deal. But despite such mischief making, Morris hasn't lost the President's ear. There are 20 good reasons for this--one for each point by which Clinton leads Dole in the polls...
Neither Gau nor Weathers, both in critical condition, would have survived were it not for Lieut. Colonel Madan K.C., a Nepalese helicopter pilot. Choppers seldom venture above 6,000 meters: at a certain height, the thin air reduces their lift. Yet Madan flew up to a giant cross the climbers had painted on the Everest ice with red Kool-Aid. There he hovered, runners just touching the snow's treacherous surface, as Gau was loaded on board. Madan flew Gau down to the base camp, then repeated the process with Weathers. It was the second-highest helicopter rescue in history...

However, I do try to keep these opinions to myself--after all, I'm sure there are those students (although which I can't imagine) who do, in fact, like your editorial section, and I suppose at least their interests are being...
...disappointment." As for "glamour," how many Harvard seniors from the class of 1995 had heard of Vaclav Havel prior to that Czech Republic President's selection as the Commencement Speaker for that year? No poll was conducted to my knowledge, but I'd venture a guess: not many. Seldom has such myopia been demonstrated by an entire staff (minus three) of supposedly intelligent journalists. This essay demonstrates a lack of education, not to mention a lack of tact...
