...found that career enhancing assignments for both enlisted women and officers were unnecessarily limited. It found frustration among its female ranks and sexual harassment rampant throughout the service. The Navy has addressed questions that the Kennedy School should not ignore. What impact does polarization among men and women, and dead-end career opportunities, have on the productivity of an organization? How can problems be identified? What can be done to ensure a work environment which discourages hostility among employees? And how does all of this change when a woman is in charge...
...might be expected, Kennedy's case-by-case approach stirs neither great enthusiasm nor dead-end opposition in the Senate. Jesse Helms, North Carolina's conservative curmudgeon, once growled, "No way, Jose," at the prospect of Kennedy's nomination. But last week he allowed that Kennedy might make a "fine" Justice. Liberals are mostly being noncommittal, but they will have trouble taking back their comments during the Bork fight, when some identified Kennedy as the type of conservative they could accept. Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe, who helped lead the opposition against Bork, describes Kennedy as "decent instead of dogmatic...
Seven young men, all in their late teens or early 20s, slipped into a deserted dead-end street in eastern Tehran. From a neighborhood mosque, a loudspeaker rumbled with denunciations of America.

Her refusal to intervene between pro-life and pro-choice factions, and wish upon them "a single voice," offers intellectual self-questioning as an alternative to political violence...
...jobs are not necessarily dead-end ones, since each McDonald's outlet offers a career path of salaried jobs in which store managers typically earn $25,000 and junior managers $12,000 to $17,000. And managers can aspire to opening their own McDonald's, since most of the chain's restaurants are started by individual entrepreneurs. The initial investment in a franchise outlet is typically $325,000, but the return can be high. Other ambitious store managers can move up to Illinois headquarters, where almost 40% of executives got their start flipping hamburgers. The company employs relatively few M.B.A.s...
