...case, the courses in question are taught by two different professors in two different departments. Nobody would know if I had submitted the same paper to both of them. In fact, in a school as big as Harvard, even if the courses were in the same department, it is still highly unlikely that I would be caught...
Rubitsky, now 72 and living in Milton, Wis., never complained. But his friends did, and so did the Anti-Defamation League and a group of Viet Nam veterans. In 1987 the Pentagon began looking into the case. Several months ago, an Army buddy gave Rubitsky the evidence he needed: a message that Rubitsky's friend had found on the body of a Japanese officer who died later in New Guinea. The note referred to "600 fine Japanese soldiers ((who)) died because of a solitary American soldier." Today Rubitsky says he is not as interested in the medal as in justice...
...stereotypes by filming a TV ad trumpeting his endorsement by a prototypical rural policeman, who looked like an extra from Smokey and the Bandit.

...initial reforms, in any case, did not satisfy the opposition. "Dialogue is not the main course, it is just the appetizer," proclaimed Jens Reich, a molecular biologist and leader of New Forum, the major dissident organization.

The opposition pledged to keep up the pressure for a free press, free elections and a new constitution stripped of the clause granting the Communist Party a monopoly on power...
Call it by its rightful name, Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Call it Dangerous Liaisons. Call it, if you must, Valmont. But in any case it looks as if we can now call it a day for stage and movie adaptations of Pierre-Ambroise-Francois Choderlos de Laclos's intricate, instructive novel of sexual gamesmanship among the 18th century French aristocracy. For Milos Forman and Jean-Claude Carriere, while fiddling with the plot of this deliciously nasty tale, have studiously embalmed its spirit. Valmont arrives stiffened by the elegant, inert formalism of Forman's direction, and chilled by Carriere...
