Riesman, a contributor to the Bennett report, differs sharply. While Glazer thinks that Harvard's Core Curriculum is the best way to clean up higher education, Riesman advocates Columbia University's Core Curriculum as the ideal to which all colleges should aspire. In Columbia's program, all students are required to take several common courses on Western civilization. Riesman argues that if every student must take at least a few of the same courses, the true meaning of colleges will be restored...
Grade-school children decorated place mats for the official birthday dinner. One contributor had drawn the yellow line down the middle of Main Street in an oblique, Miro-like style, an imaginative effort to contain its unwieldy width, its absence of definition by such amenities as regular curbs, trees or design coherence. Another, apparently in a very early grade, drew a psychic space showing the hero of the day surrounded by pictures labeled Minnesota, Pigout, The Dude, Breakdance, Camper--and a list of the National Football League teams...
Another key contributor to this week's story was Caribbean Correspondent Bernard Diederich, who has reported on Latin American drug trafficking for the past 20 years, first from Mexico City and now from Miami, one of the main U.S. entry points for cocaine. Says he: "From Mexico's Sierra Madre, where I covered opium-eradication programs in the 1970s, to Colombia's La Guajira Peninsula, which I visited late last year, the mark of the drug trade is the littered wreckage everywhere of smugglers' planes that didn't make it."

...does Congress treat the dairy support system like a sacred cow? The main reason is the strong dairy lobby: the Associated Milk Producers PAC was the tenth-largest campaign contributor to Congressmen in 1984. Yet, despite this clout, most dairy farmers realize that some reforms are inevitable. "We want to be less dependent on subsidies," says James Jarvis, a small dairy farmer in Wautoma, Wis. "But we can't be cut off cold turkey. We've got to be let down slow...
Ironically, Hanon had been a major contributor to the firm's earlier successes. Known jokingly as "l'americain" among his colleagues, he received both an M.B.A. and a doctorate in economics at Columbia University before becoming Renault's U.S. marketing director in 1959. Hanon spent his 26-year career at Renault earning a reputation as a visionary car executive. The architect of Renault's move into the U.S. market, he took part in the development of the successful R-5 subcompact (Le Car) in the 1970s. The company now owns 46% of American Motors and 41% of Mack Trucks. Both...
