...have thought little about the enormous amounts of data that are collected and made public to the school about you, and you may not be bothered by the fact since you feel you have nothing to hide. But do you send all your mail on postcards? Conduct all your telephone conversations on speakerphone? Leave a note on the door when you leave your room giving your exact destination? Of course not. We all have a reasonable expectation of privacy on campus, a privacy that in most other respects is kept sacred...
That is the elegance in the Lott proposal. After the mini-trial, there would be two votes on whether to conduct a full-blown trial, each requiring a two-thirds vote to go ahead. In the probable event they would fail, the trial would adjourn and the Senate would take up censure. Temporarily setting aside the messy issue of how to craft a censure resolution that would satisfy all sides, the obsessively punctilious Lott had devised an exit strategy that seemed to have something in it for everyone. Conservatives would get a trial, albeit a brief one, and a chance...
Keep your promises. When the College decided to randomize the upperclass houses completely four years ago, Dean Lewis promised to conduct a full review of randomization and its effects on house life in 1999. Even though students who were around before randomization have since graduated (or are about to graduate), we fully expect the administration to hold to their stated promise. Furthermore, we urge that such a study be thorough and involve not only administrators and house masters, but students as well...
...Starr, while aware of Clinton's charm, held a different view of his conduct. Though he would never quite say so, he came to see the President as the elusive head of a vast criminal enterprise, who over the past four years of investigation would admit nothing, hold back evidence, block inquiry--all the while professing to cooperate in public while destroying his adversary's reputation in private. To the righteous defenders of law and order, Clinton's not one of us. He's one of them...
...false counselor wired for replays. For all their stupefying banality, the tapes Tripp made over a three-month period of her conversations with Monica Lewinsky are self-incriminating, an eloquent and chilling record of ongoing personal treachery. What is surprising is how many contemporary Americans find Tripp's conduct as hellish as Dante would have. We live at a far remove from the medieval poet's moral cosmology. Where he prescribed eternal damnation and torture, we are inclined to recommend therapy, to empathize, to view the malefactor as a victim...
