...sense, the debate over whether quotas exist limiting Asian-American enrollment at leading universities nationwide has been misguided. While no one suggests that there is no anti-Asian discrimination, the idea of admissions offices at America's top colleges posting specific limits on the number of minorities they admit seems unlikely. This does not deny that racial discrimination exists; it only asserts that institutions which claim to shape a free, educated, and democratic society cannot afford to show bias so crudely...
...most of 1987. The production team sold 35 million singles and 12 million albums, and they like to say "We are the charts." "They're very contemporary in what they do," says Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys. "However, their lyrical content is not, even they would admit, particularly interesting."

When the subject came up at a press conference last week, Gore looked as though he had sniffed a skunk in church. Four times in 90 seconds, he declared, "I have no interest." He is, Gore insists, a national candidate for the presidency, not merely a regional entry or would-be power broker...
...Ubozhko, 54, a Moscow dissident who spent 15 years in psychiatric hospitals before being freed last spring. They said Ubozhko had been rearrested and was being held in a psychiatric hospital at Chelyabinsk in the Urals, where he was taken after the director of a Moscow hospital refused to admit him on the ground that he appeared to be healthy...
