...sensitivity and understanding in describing the students' charges as a unproductive distraction from what he termed "the question that's a hell of a lot more important--how to recruit and admit minority students to the graduate school." Of course McKinney has hit upon the issue of primary concern--GSAS minority recruitment and admission, but his attempt to separate the hiring procedure question from minority admissions policy is dubious. As the students pointed out in their letter to Bok, minority recruitment and admissions work requires certain skills and sensitivity in dealing with applicants, other academic institutions and individuals within...
...engaged specifically in teaching the various languages and literatures of Europe, not one single professor teaches the languages and literatures of Africa. Harvard has five fullfledged departments (Celtic, Classics, Germanic, Romance, and Slavic) in which these 80 professors teach, but it does not have a single department or program concerned with the teachings of African languages and literatures. Practically every one of the approximately two dozen languages of Europe is part of the normal curriculum of the University; yet not a single one of the indigenous languages of sub-Saharan Africa (estimated to number anywhere from...

Smiling broadly, Carter mockingly scolded a group of employees: "Those of you who are living in sin, I hope you will get married. Those of you who have left your spouses, come back home. Those of you who don't know your children's names, get to know them...
...also beset by other serious problems at home and abroad. The Soviet and East European economies are strained, Soviet influence in the Middle East continues to decline, and the "victory" of pro-Russian forces in Angola is proving a mixed blessing, because it has led to a new American concern about Soviet expansionism. Besides, a specter is haunting Europe-the specter of Euro-Communism, which proclaims itself independent of Moscow and professes all kinds of liberal and even democratic heresies...
