...civil liberties lawyer, and I do not generally represent students in Ad Board cases unless they are also facing criminal charges. In this case, I got involved initially in order to make arguments to the dean of the College that the matter should not be escalated into a complaint to the District Attorney but instead should be resolved internally and with a minimum of disruption to the lives of all concerned. I was not granted the courtesy of a meeting on this request before the Dean's Office and the HUPD reported the matter, and a criminal investigation of Itagaki...
...offhandedly that it was "a cause Ehrenburg surely would have supported." Rubinstein seems to have forgotten his own account of how, during the similar 1956 revolt in Hungary, Ehrenburg was dispatched to a foreign writers' conference to defend Khrushchev's brutal intervention against criticism, a job he performed without complaint.

And with a particularly presumptuous title that promises a certain product and plays on the sensibilities of people interested in racial discourse, the question is, how substantially does this book contribute...
...American managers--all men--got a firsthand glimpse of this male-dominated culture when they spent time in Japan training. After work, the men were routinely taken to clubs where sexually explicit entertainment was available--a practice that was to be repeated in Normal. This kind of behavior, the complaint declared, has "contributed to an atmosphere in which males in the plant widely believe that management will tolerate abusive activities toward women...
