...believes he has the authority to bring criminal charges against Clinton before he leaves office. The Times piece, though it broke little new ground, jarred Clinton allies: just as they were cheering the trial's end, the newspaper offered a reminder that the last word on the scandals may belong to his nemesis. "Starr sees the President as a real lawbreaker who deserves to be put in jail," says a White House adviser. "There's no way the President can relax with him out there...
Each of us chooses to make Harvard College what we want it to be by the organizations to which we belong. The same applies for Radcliffe. A number of women and men-students and scholars alike-have created a community which is looking for innovative ways to advance women and society as a whole. The undergraduate program Education for Action is a good example. It awards grants to undergraduates to study and address a social problem which may exist in a local or international community...
...more example of how far the A.M.A., and by extension the entire medical profession, has fallen.

Now roughly 30% of physicians belong, and the organization has been dogged by bungled decisions, like the short-lived deal it made two years ago to endorse Sunbeam products...

Unlike the motorboat-riding evangelists ("ambulance chasers," he calls them) who infest some locks, Wilkinson wants only to draw the men more closely into the Christian community to which most of them already belong. He has set up an 800 number for mariners in need of emergency pastoral care far from home, and in three months has logged 7,000 land miles in his white Ford Escort, recruiting shoreside ministers to respond. Boarding the Grainger at the Robert C. Byrd lock in West Virginia, he forgoes preaching in favor of hearing...
