...Yale University the same year, Epps says, then-president A. Bartlett Giamatti reacted more impulsively--and personally--to student-erected shanties. He ordered them removed immediately, setting off highly-charged demonstrations in which large numbers of students were arrested...
...fact that Dumas is all black matters little to students and parents. What matters is that, unlike many schools, it is trying to be excellent. "As a black American, I want the best education money can buy at this school," says Peggie Bartlett, president of the Dumas local school council, the institution's governing board.

Although Newsweek's conventional-wisdom gurus called him "Harvard's own Gerald Ford," Bok's low public profile can be very deceiving. He's no A. Bartlett Giamatti, which some people may regret, but he's no John Silber either, which makes every-one happy...
