...people who do not agree with your April 15 editorial's dismissal of the notion that Black-Jewish tensions are serious problem right now, on campus and elsewhere. The Crimson, by so vehemently denying that there is a deeper problem, seems determined, as in the earlier Leonard Jeffries affair, to present only one side of the situation: righteous Jews crusading against anti-Semitic Blacks...
...leukemia, would reporter and editor have published the story? Maybe, in one paragraph. But not if Ashe had asked them not to. AIDS made it different. Irresistible. Juicy gossip. Red meat.

In it, Jackson informed a friend back in the U.S. that Clinton "received his induction notice last week." Clinton, who earlier said he was never actually drafted, now asserted that yes, he received an induction letter in England. It came by surface mail, he said, and specified a date that had already passed...
