...University will not fund the project directly, but the administration has given Kirshner permission to seek donors to raise the $13.7 million. The money will give Harvard a one-fifth share in the Magellan project, collaborating with the University of Arizona, MIT and the University of Michigan...
...Other Hero. Would Dole really tap someone who backed Phil Gramm in the early primaries, was tangentially involved in the Keating Five savings-and-loan scandal and led the fight to open diplomatic relations with Vietnam?

Over the last month, Dole has repeatedly attacked federal judgeships but recently has begun to attack prosecutors as well, targeting Clinton appointees in Arizona and California. Meanwhile, Coffey's accuser has remained unnamed. The Herald reports the 28-year-old married woman fears what her neighbors might think and quotes her as saying: "Nobody in this neighborhood knows what I do. Nobody knows about this." -->
