...Harvard from society at large--differences which exist there for precisely the deeper reasons which the Indy suggests. Of these reasons, incidentally, I find the "expectations" argument the most plausible. While their families have doubtless had high expectations for all Harvard students, teachers and the mass media tend to convey more discouraging messages to Black and Latino students which are tough to fight past. And of a piece with these low expectations, I must add, are the very statistics which Choi uses to justify the claim that "we" are letting people off the book...
...intent to make formal charges of nepotism. At the time I did not feel that this would bring a productive resolution to the situation. (Cf. the clarification on page four of today's paper). Rather, my intent in going to Dean Jewett was to convey my concern that the appearance of nepotism could cause great upset to the Dunster community.

But it's entirely legal, fiendishly clever (in a friendly, relatively harmless sort of way) and just one of the many things to be wary of as we desperately reach for alternatives to the 2.5% they're offering down at the local money-market fund...
...distribute his manuscript. As soon as the cult leader has finished decoding the symbolism of the seven seals in the Book of Revelation, FBI agents surrounding the compound near Waco, Texas, where Koresh and his Branch Davidian cult are holed up, will pick up the longhand manuscript and convey it to Koresh's lawyer, Dick DeGuerin, who will present it to two noted biblical experts for evaluation. Then, Koresh promises, he and 95 followers will finally surrender to federal authorities. That would end a siege that, as of Saturday night, had lasted 49 days -- five days longer than the Gulf...
