What kinds of decisions? "The Court may go out of its way and knock out quotas, or it may go the other route and legitimize the use of racially-conscious material," Cahn suggested. And if the Court remands the case to trial court, it may place guidelines on the lower court, as to the kind of questions and information it should consider...
...Rasputin of fraud. The straggly hair that frames his craggy Florentine features is a fright wig of deceit. His flamingo legs carry him with awkward zest from sin to sin, while his tongue utters unguentary lies. Yet we are too conscious that he is a self-aware villain, scoring stunning acting points without carrying complete emotional conviction. And Stefan Gierasch's Orgon is not quite the ideal foil.

Julia, based on a section of Lillian Hellman's autobiographical book Pentimento, is a sensitive, occasionally self-conscious story of Hellman's lifelong friendship with a woman she calls Julia.

College dorms, of course, have been crowded for years. But no one was expecting a bulge this year.

...FORECASTS of how many students will be able to leave the Quad are as rare as an uncrowded River suite. But the outlines of the situation suggest that leaving the Quad will be harder to do this year than in the past. As part of the Fox plan's conscious effort to make the Quad more desirable, the Housing Office switched 45 upperclass Quad residents to the River--five to each House. In doing so. University Hall aimed to reduce Quad density to the point where no Quad rooms would be doubles, as some had been in past years. Because...
