Worse yet, when women do arrive, it seems Harvard is not treating them as fairly as it should be. In a suit filed by former Facilities and Maintenance worker Charlotte Walters, a jury found Harvard guilty of sexual discrimination on one count when it failed to discipline a worker who harassed Walters. On the faculty level, women shoulder a larger portion of the undesirable administrative burden than do their male counterparts--holding 31 percent of the head tutor jobs, although they comprise only 14 percent of the faculty eligible for these posts...

Brezhnev declared that socialism will suffer no losses: countries that come under Marxist- Leninism remain under Marxist-Leninism. Afghanistan is the first breach in that doctrine.

A careful look at the map shows Bush and Dukakis each starting with relatively reliable bases almost identical in size -- 115 electoral votes for Bush, 112 for Dukakis...
...among the favorite targets of Irish Republican Army gunmen and bombers. Late last week, eight died and 27 were injured when a land mine exploded alongside a military bus taking troopers back to their base at Omagh from leave on the British mainland. The toll, the worst single-day count for the army in the province since 1982, raised to 410 the number of British troops killed by terrorists since the "Troubles" erupted...
