...positively gorgeous coat. Even the men seem to have improved. I even saw one in a well-fitting shirt—a big improvement! Of course there will always be the terrible Harvard fashion traditions, like pants embroidered with spouting whales. Like the many chauvinist institutions on campus, I doubt they will go away or let women above a holding-pen type basement, unless we band together and protest. (Look what disassociating ourselves in 1984 has gotten us: nothing!) But hey, I don’t want no hateration in this dancery. I want to congratulate a Harvard student body...
...those who monitored the case closely from the beginning saw no reason for surprise that the three detectives, Michael Oliver, Gescard Isnora and Marc Cooper, were acquitted on Friday of all charges. They agreed that Queens District Attorney Richard Brown did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the cops were not justified in opening deadly fire in the incident - and his failure to do so, they argue, highlights the inherent problems with prosecuting via traditional means the long line of controversial police shootings of black victims...

...abandon the six-party talks, bringing down the curtain on what Bolton and others believe has been a feckless effort by the State Department. But Administration officials insist they don't expect that to happen. They believe North Korea 3.0 - the "shame on you" policy - may pay off. "I doubt they're walking away," says one diplomat involved in the talks. Yes, they say, North Korea's obvious and serial proliferation is a huge problem. That's why getting Pyongyang to mothball its plutonium program has already been a significant accomplishment. Convincing Kim to surrender his stash of weapons...
