...class of 1992 will need every bit of its inherent toughness to cope with challenges of the next few months -- some of them familiar, but others new and unexpected. Homesickness, for example, has always played a part in the adjustment process, but for the growing number of freshmen whose families have been torn by separations or divorces, moving away may be particularly painful. Children in such families are often cast as comforters, confidants and caretakers of their parents as well as of their siblings. "Many of them feel really responsible for their parents," says Katz, "which makes the whole separation...
...woman behind the scenes of much of our news coverage, Davis has learned to cope with the unforeseen. A native of Chappaqua, N.Y., she began her career in the news business quietly enough, as a secretary at LIFE in 1967. She first encountered the full pressures and unpredictabilities of journalism in 1972, when she went to work as secretary to TIME's deputy chief of correspondents. She later moved to the news desk, which serves as a liaison between our New York City editorial offices and our correspondents around the world. Davis became news desk manager in 1980, and five...

Tate, 46, is the first woman to pierce Bush's all- male inner circle...
...Boston harbor mess indeed predates Dukakis. A system largely designed in the 1950s to give rudimentary treatment to sewage simply could not cope with rapid growth in the Boston area, and the Metropolitan District Commission, charged with maintaining the sewage system, was a nest of political cronies. "It was a place that employed everybody's cousin," recalls former Republican Governor Francis Sargent. As early as 1972, Sargent had committed the state to cleaning up the harbor, but had to fight a recalcitrant MDC every step...
