Organizations at Harvard should have broad latitude to conduct private meetings for their members in the manner they think best. It may be good judgment for an organization to invite others with a particular interest in an outside speaker to attend even if they have sharply opposing views. But the University should not insist that an organization invite nonmembers to hear a speaker whenever there is reason to believe that they might wish to come. For example, the Republican Club should be able to invite political figures to speak at private meetings without having to allow members of the Democratic...
Harvard's library, which employs about 13 specialists in different areas who determine which books will be purchased, operates according to three basic principles, Feng says: to build on the system's strengths, to collect in response to curriculum needs, and to recognize "the broad scope of human knowledge that any self-respecting institution should be committed...
...times last year and once in late March, opponents of the authoritarian regime of General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte have held demonstrations. Each time, the protests have ended in bloodshed, with a total of at least 110 dead. Last week the broad-based opposition tried another approach: as part of its effort to provoke a national strike, it called on Chileans to assemble in city and town squares to sing the national anthem and then quickly disperse. Pinochet was in no mood for music. Even before the singing had begun in Santiago's main square, police equipped with submachine guns...

On the Gannett chain of 85 newspapers, "our policy is not to have a policy," John Quinn, its editorial director, says. But he urges his editors to pick columnists across a broad spectrum of views. Similarly, the Wall Street Journal, with the most rigidly polemical editorial page of any major paper, seeks to vary its Johnny-one-note tone by using some outside voices. Irving Kristol and Arthur Schlesinger are well-matched middleweights, but was Alexander Cockburn craftily picked for his left...
...brand-name companies face a broad-based movement toward generics. Some 26 states mandate the use of generic drugs, whenever possible, in Medicaid programs. Several insurance companies, including Aetna, Metropolitan, Prudential and Blue Cross/Blue Shield, have notified health-care policyholders that they will be reimbursed for 100% of the cost of generic drugs but only 80% of the price of brand-name pills. Moreover, many drugstore chains are pushing low-priced generics. Walgreens, with 947 outlets in 30 states and Puerto Rico, says that when one of its pharmacists receives a prescription marked "no substitution," he is to call...
