Along the way, Reiter also takes cheap shots at Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala, whom she calls "a vocal advocate of campus speech codes," and to President Clinton, with reference to the "already battered iamge of our golden-boy president." Any detailed examination of Shalala's record as University of Wisconsin chancellor (not president) would show that far from being a "vocal advocate" of speech codes, she established such a code only very reluctantly after several racial incidents. And as for President Clinton, despite a run of incredibly bad publicity and, I concede, a shaky first few weeks...
...intelligent man who seems sincerely passionate about improving this country. I want him to succeed--so do my roommate and the Globe readers on the T. But repeating the mistakes of the past will not help us. To retain our economic leadership position, we need policies based on code words like "expansion" not retrogressive terms like "sacrifice...
...Sessions' plan to probe charges that the Justice Department was involved in a cover-up of the Iraqgate scandal. "We owe him a fair review of the allegations," said Gore. But agents who feel that Sessions has brought shame on the FBI have breached the bureau's traditional code of secrecy. Agents openly refer to Sessions as "Director Concessions," "the empty suit" and "Chauncey Gardiner," after the simpleminded hero of the Jerzy Kosinski novel Being There. "The vast majority of agents are embarrassed by him," says Francis Mullen Jr., who served as the FBI's No. 2 official under William...

...arranged in the proper order as they would appear on the chromosomes. So far, researchers have identified a few genetic markers on each fragment: for example, the gene for Huntington's disease on a fragment of chromosome 4. In a later phase, they hope to crack the code of each gene -- a code that is written in chemical constituents called base pairs. The great challenge is the sheer size of the task. The human genome contains 3.5 billion base pairs...
