Minorities currently comprise 6.8 percent of Harvard's senior faculty and 11.7 of its junior faculty, figures which are comparable to other major research universities.

...seized by marketers; it seems to smudge a dozen separate nationalities into an ethnic blur. And a phenomenon made up so heavily of pop charts and box-office receipts is not much help in the struggles against such things as low wages and poor education, the things that count most for Hispanics still in the barrios. There are misgivings too about the kind of treatment Hispanic life will get from big art galleries and entertainment conglomerates that can grind whole cultures into merchandise.

Since Social Security receipts count as part of the overall budget, congressional projections indicate that the deficit should gradually shrink from $150 billion in 1987 to $134 billion in 1993. Without Social Security's extra padding, however, lawmakers would be forced to admit an unpleasant reality: the deficit resulting from all other Government programs will actually grow from $170 billion in 1987 to $231 billion in 1993. Says Bosworth: "The basic budget deficit is getting worse...
