Like the Harvard Corporation, the Radcliffe Board of Trustees is a financially independent, self-perpetuating group of people charged with the care of the institution it takes its name from.

...most college administrators don't mind. If the students quietly do what they want, it means less responsibility for the college. "I have four kids of my own.

Baker's amendments, which had the potential to kill SALT II, met defeat by a one-vote margin in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last Wednesday, and Capitol Hill colleagues have...
...every kind of tragedy in the overcrowded city, Mother Teresa and her nuns managed to create a measure of consolation. They collected abandoned babies from gutters and garbage heaps and tried to nurse them back to health. They brought in the dying so they might die under care and among friends. Eventually the order built leprosariums, children's homes, havens for women, the handicapped and the old. The deepest consolation offered, though, was something that went beyond physical care.
