...members. Free speech or free discussion in the university is in no sense a peripheral or secondary matter. The university is neither a church nor a political party, and those who would turn it into one simply do not belong here. Freedom of speech and discussion is the core of the university, and those who knowingly attack it commit an offense more serious than pyromania or even plagiarism. The only reasonable penalty is separation from the university. It is utterly ridiculous that members of the Harvard community who have willfully violated the free speech of others dare to whine about...
Through this amorphous process, tentative tiers are likely to be established well before Labor Day. Jackson, by virtue of his name recognition and core support among blacks, will do well temporarily in the polls. But he will continue to be handicapped by strongly negative reactions in surveys, a weak organization and considerable vulnerabilities in the "character" , department.

But the film is Broderick's. A great listener, he can make a colloquy with a chimp seem like the meeting of true souls. This time, he has gone beyond cute, to acute...
...effort in Congress to stanch the increasing flow of illegal immigration. Romano Mazzoli, the Kentucky Congressman who was a key sponsor of the original legislation in the House, sums up the sentiment behind it: "Any nation that doesn't have control over its borders is a nation whose central core might be threatened." The law is based on a carrot-stick principle: it offers legal status to long-term immigrants while mandating sanctions against employers who knowingly hire more recent arrivals. Illegal aliens who can prove they have been permanent residents in the U.S. since before Jan. 1, 1982, will...
