...applaud President Clinton for his Dec. 5 appointment of Madeline K. Albright as the first female secretary of state. After her hard work as the United States ambassador to the United Nations and as a member of the National Security Council, Albright was the clear choice to succeed Warren Christopher as our nation's highest foreign policy adviser. As President Clinton articulated, Albright has steely determination as well as a clear understanding of her dual function as a leading cabinet member and a female role model. We see that the second follows from the first, as she herself indicated...

...While I applaud the Crimson for recognizing the wonderful job Mark A. Price '98 did as an emcee for Springfest (picture caption, April 28), I think just as much recognition should go to the work done by Chiqui O. Matthew '00. Not a member of the Undergraduate Council, Matthew was still willing to give his time and talents to help out as the co-emcee at Springfest for which he should be commended. The help given by non-Council members such as Matthew, Harvard Dining Services, Melody Schneinder and all the various band members were instrumental in making Springfest such...
