...equating the mayor with King is as bogus as comparing Donaldson to Bull Connor. The straightforward moral choices that Birmingham faced in King's day are not a reliable guide to sorting out the ambiguities posed by the Arrington affair. Back then, racist bombing attacks were so common that the city's best black neighborhood was nicknamed "Dynamite Hill." Parks, schools and buses were segregated, and most blacks were denied the vote. Today every legal vestige of Jim Crow has disappeared from the city, and Arrington sits in the mayor's office. The racial battleground is no longer black...
...with the additions of David H. Souter '61 and Clarence Thomas, the Court is even more conservative than in 1989. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's middle-of-the-road tie-breaking position prevented an overturn in 1989, when four justices were prepared for reversal and four were opposed. Now two of four supporters of Roe are gone...
Clinical use of cultured skin cells began in 1982, when Gallico and colleague Nicholas E. O'Connor, instructor in surgery at the Medical School and a surgeon at the Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital, first used the technique to treat a massively burned patient at the Shriners Burn Institute in Boston...

Remensnyder Jr., associate professor of surgery at the Medical School and director of the MGH operating rooms, found that the method produced an 84 percent success rate among severe burn victims, while autografting produced a 68 percent success rate...
Perhaps, Mr. Connor and Mr. Plotz would recognize this as the Democratization of the Thighs and surely it is. But unlike other features of the Gapification of America, this great leveling allows for true individuality--in (some) body types, not in fashion. Our bodies naturally make us individuals and the Gap is taking the lead in popularizing a line of clothing designed in sizes and shapes that reflect this. This change is part of what I hope is a departure from the cultural totalitarianism that brought us the corset and bustle, liposuction, cosmetic surgery and self-induced vomiting...
