...justice or just the bared-fang attack of a cornered and wounded animal. The tottering hardware giant had bet heavily on its $2.5 billion Alpha microprocessor to return it to prosperity. Alpha is unquestionably the fastest chip on the market, but its speed hasn't overcome Intel's marketing clout. In 1996, according to Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Mercury Research, Intel shipped some 65 million Pentium chips, or 76% of the microprocessor market, compared with 200,000 Alphas.

Faculty members have much more clout in this University than students and if Faculty members could be convinced to fight for an increased commitment to ethnic studies, they would be much more likely to produce results. But even more importantly, it is the Faculty that must vote to approve an ethnic studies department or the recommendations of the Ethnic Studies Committee.

Since last year, OPRAH WINFREY, the greatest force in television, has practically saved the alphabet. It's simple. Oprah selects a title for the book-discussion club she launched on her show last fall. Then everyone in America buys it. This gives her the market clout of a Pentagon procurement officer. Architect FRANK GEHRY saw a long struggle culminate in a huge achievement. His $100 million Guggenheim Museum is scheduled to open later this year in Bilbao, Spain...
