And at the moment, Radcliffe's applicant pool is less than half the size of Harvard's. Another problem is that there is a large and powerful group of Harvard alumni who are adamantly opposed to lowering the number...
...been moved into the White House and added that inquisitive reporters had questioned her about "everything but how often I sleep with my husband, and if they'd asked me that, I would have told them."

Another 3,500 were subsequently sent to ESA torture centers. One prosecution witness, former Colonel Spyridon Moustaklis, 49, was unable to answer questions because brain damage caused by beatings had left him mute and semiparalyzed. Communicating by groans and gestures, glaring at the defendants, Moustaklis clumsily tore his shirt open to reveal the scars that marked his body. Said his wife: "We have a little girl who has never heard her father...
