Certainly President Bok is no champion of discrimination, and his annual report does not attempt to justify Harvard's long history of prejudice. But with his attack on affirmative action regulation Bok allies himself with those who accept, or at least ignore racism and sexism at Harvard. Attacks on affirmative action have accelerated during the past two years and, while they have at times focused on legitimate issues, too often they have provided a thin veil for the feeling that integration has gone far enough. More than a few deans, department chairmen and professors could view the annual report...

Arnhem Bridge. El Alamein epitomized Montgomery's battlefield style: a long, careful buildup of matériel superiority followed by a massive frontal attack with secondary flanking pushes. These tactics were successful in many battles-at Mareth, Tunisia, the Sangro River in Italy, and Caen, France-but they also led to some disasters.

Though he was born in Paris and educated in England, Cloete felt most at home in the land of his Boer ancestors. His first novel, The Turning Wheels, about pioneering Afrikaners, published in 1937, was a bestseller in Britain and the U.S. But it was banned for 37 years in South Africa, perhaps because it described interracial love affairs.
