...whistle-blowers did not fare as well. Two were demoted, and the third was pressured to transfer to another city. But all, they say, were harassed by some of the same higher-ups who had rushed to Santella's aid. Top IRS and Treasury Department officials dismissed the whistle-blowers' cries of harassment. But in 1987 an independent IRS "grievance examiner" concluded, in a report obtained by TIME, that their complaints were justified. Nothing was done, however, until Barnard's subcommittee began asking questions in early 1988. The whistle-blowers were reinstated in their former positions, and Santella was forced...

Harvard still has a long way to go to admit enough women and students from Native American or poor or Black or Hispanic backgrounds and hire a more diverse faculty.

In the early 1960s, the Federal Government started pouring planeloads of money into its castaway dependency, partly in the spirit of idealism, and partly with an eye to its unmatched, and strategically useful, harbor (last year, Washington sent $45 million in direct aid to a community with one-sixth as many people as Mesa, Ariz.). Yet the U.S. has never bothered too much about the legal niceties of its anomalous territory. After President William McKinley took over the main island in 1900, fully 29 years passed before Congress deigned to make the transfer...
