Magrath and other educators are concerned that the rising costs are making it more difficult for students from low-income families to attend college. In 1970, the University of Michigan set a 10% goal for black enrollment. Today the Ann Arbor campus has the seventh highest charge for tuition and fees ($2,193) of any state university, and a black student population of less than 5%. Says James McDermott, a Washington State senator: "Education is more and more becoming the province of the haves...
That may seem like an unusual business credo, but it has apparently worked for Ted Badgerow, 32, the president and co-founder of Real Ale, a tiny brewery that opened last September near Ann Arbor, Mich.

In his curious Death on the Ridge Road, 1935, a painting of an impending car crash, the fatal truck coming over...
Chrysler Chairman Lee lacocca at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor: "Our free-enterprise economic system is still the best there is. America still has the people and the resources to be a worldbeater. The only thing we seem to be missing is the determination that once pushed America to great heights. That's where you folks come in. I want you to get mad about the current state of affairs. I want you to get so mad that you kick your elders in their figurative posteriors and move America off dead center. Our nation was born when...
