...many Americans like Shelly will not receive adequate educations as a result of the President's cuts in educational spending? Under Reagan's 1987 budget, federal revenue-sharing funds used by states to support school districts will be cut. Federal financial aid for college students has been under constant siege since Reagan took office. The President honors Shelly Butler only in his speech; he prefers to attack her and countless other upcoming Americans with his educational policy. Quite a way to treat a national hero...
...networks also drew some criticism for constant replays of the shuttle explosion and premature speculation about the long-range consequences of the accident. But most of it seemed necessary.

About 80 students did come on time; about seven began wandering in at various moments 15 minutes past the hour. What is the balance of rights...
Bigotry! Secrecy! Hedonism! Selfishness! Such an indictment prompts visions of constant, scandalous misbehavior on the part of the Clubbies. Yet Grossman's summary of their beastliness includes only the charge that the Clubs hold "elaborate parties;" fly "punchees" to Atlantic City; serve "over priced dinners;" organize dances characterized as "bimbo" parties; "have reportedly used prostitutes" at some events; and are rumored to conduct "hazing ceremonies which are disgusting at best and hazardous at worst...
