...Clean. Miki has been criticized within the party for proceeding too slowly, and independently, in investigating Lockheed-related wrongdoing. Miki's supporters counter that the real worry of many in the L.D.P. is that the Premier's careful investigation will badly tarnish the reputations of some important party figures. Party Vice President Shiina is well aware that in the public mind, efforts to dump Miki are seen as part of a Lockheed cover-up by a party that only two years ago was jolted by the worst scandal in its history-the resignation of Miki's predecessor...
...tried to be "a leading force," other Harvard groups in other spheres tend to do the same. The competition was good-natured, and only those who volunteered slept outside at the Capitol. Two weeks ago, hundreds of students rose early or camped outside Byerly Hall to try for 200 clean-up jobs; it seems hardly more unusual that few students would do the same at sales school to better hear and see presentations which would help determine their success over the summer. Standing ovations do not happen after every speaker; when they do, they are well-deserved. Additionally, the ovations...
Credibility Challenged. In the end, Thorpe had to go because, said the Guardian in a sympathetic editorial, his own colleagues had, "privately or publicly, challenged his credibility."

His failure to do so gave the damaging impression that Thorpe was engaged in a cover-up-as he may have been...
Hard-drinking and imperious (he once stoned an offending electric sign because it ruined his view), Aalto blazed into prominence in the 1930s. His first celebrated works were a library in Viipuri and a tuberculosis sanatorium in Paimio. Their design was lean, clean, direct and even witty; in Aalto's hands, the meeting of an undulating ceiling and a wall could result in a line as playful and zesty as a Miro sketch...
...gained national attention that year as chairman of the President's National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, which concluded that the U.S. was becoming an increasingly dichotomized society-one part prospering white, the other poor and black. Kerner's reputation as Illinois' Mr. Clean collapsed when a federal jury decided that, while in the Statehouse, he had pushed for legislation favorable to Track-Owner Marjorie Lindheimer Everett in return for below-market-value stock in her Chicago Thoroughbred Enterprises. He was sentenced to three years in a federal prison, but was paroled after seven months when...
