...cite among the few successes of the FBI the conviction of Mob boss John Gotti and the arrest of Unabomber suspect Theodore Kaczynski. If it had not been for a plea bargain with mass murderer Sammy ("the Bull") Gravano in exchange for his testimony, Gotti would probably still be the "Teflon Don." If Kaczynski's brother had not gone to the FBI with incriminating evidence, the Unabomber suspect might still be living in his Montana cabin. ROBERT J. QUIRK Sarasota...

...Oklahoma City bombing case is the biggest of those cited by last week's report (see following story). It strongly criticizes explosives experts involved in the bombing investigation, particularly David Williams, who, according to the study, "reached conclusions that incriminated the defendants without a scientific basis," and Roger Martz, the chief of the chemistry-toxicology unit, who "improperly deviated from...protocol in his examination of some specimens."

...factor that faculty most cite as the disincentive to teach in the Core is the arduous process by which Core courses are approved. Making this process less adversarial is a goal that should be pursued under any system. Some have claimed that if the approval process for departmental courses is less formidable than that for Core courses, faculty will not voluntarily opt to teach in the Core itself, preferring to offer departmental classes for Core credit...

...really don't care what race a person is." And on the rare occasions that blacks and whites really do engage in conversation about the most persistent American problem, they end up talking past one another rather than to one another. Without fail, most well-meaning whites will cite the great strides made by the civil rights movement; they will then wonder what more these rather ungrateful blacks want, and they will ardently deny ever having owned slaves. Equally often, many blacks will demand full economic and political opportunity, constructive affirmative action programs and more attention to be paid...
