...issue chagrined statements, point to minority characters on existing shows and scramble to make last-minute cast additions. But the issue is more than numbers. It's the future of integration. Network prime time has not just been whitewashed, as Mfume says, it's also been redlined--divided into distinct white and minority (mostly black) 'hoods. Four years after Oprah Winfrey challenged Ross and Rachel to "get a black Friend," the most diverse group on NBC's Must-See comedies is the paint-colored men diving into the peacock logo at breaks, while UPN and the WB have a stable...
Before she starts dealing with all that, however, Hillary has to define herself as a candidate distinct from her husband. At first, her advisers were worried that doing so would lead to a spate of "rift" articles of the kind that have been chronicling tensions between Al Gore and the President. But Hillary and her team believe it is most important to ever-so-gingerly demonstrate that she is not his policy clone. (When she considered running for Governor of Arkansas in 1990, Morris has said, his polling indicated that voters would see her as a "stand-in" for Bill...
Their features have the strong, distinct contours of cartoon characters: Michael Eisner, with a smooth oval face and a personality as big and buoyant as a Macy's parade float; Jeffrey Katzenberg, his relentless energy packed into the trim lines of a bantam rooster.

The Europeans are at least five years behind in developing a state-of-the-art expertise. ?They are worried the U.S. may have a distinct advantage at producing superior agricultural and meat products,? he says, ?and that they will lose a big market share.? The latest Agricultural Department move is unlikely to soften European opposition immediately. But at the very least, it promises to expose the smug confidence of many biotech proponents to the fresh...
...that Harvard cannot touch: a coeducational policy that stretches from its founding; a healthy mix of pre-professional and liberal arts students, including hotel-school students; and a rural environment with beautiful gorges, waterfalls and tracts of forest. There is a proud ROTC heritage here and a supercomputer, a distinct architecture and the continued imprint of Ezra Cornell's educational ideals. Frankly, Cornell has a lot to say for itself, without the constant Harvard comparisons. Does the comparison fall in the Ithaca forest if no one in Cambridge hears the sound...
