...presence at this institution. As a measure of our appreciation and as a means of stressing the need for continued support among Blacks as well as other facets of the community, the Black Alumni Weekend has been created. I don't feel it is ethnocentric at all to encourage, entertain, and be inspired by men and women who have more experience than I concerning the construct of a cosmopolitan community. We are trying to engage in a concerted effort toward the proper recognition and success of all identities. And incidentally, on the subject of alumni resources, I would be willing...
...pathetic and disorienting contradiction for Black students like Timothy Wilkins and also Anthony Ball of the Third World Students Alliance to ask others (whites)to generate resources to sustain their parochial preferences. If such Black students entertain any serious intention of aiding resolution of the crisis of social pathologies facing some one-third of Black Americans who are in or near poverty, they have to rid themselves of an immature and phony perspective toward ethnic leadership. Blacks with wealth and institutional resources will have to put some of these on the line (not just ethnocentric theatric)in order to upgrade...
Unless one believes that forecasting techniques are somehow regressing, or that forecasters are not as smart as they used to be, one must at least entertain the notion that forecasting itself is suspect in turbulent times.

And unlike most other large firms which tried scenario planning, Shell has made it work...
...Rosalynn Carter. I am not Pat Nixon or Jackie Kennedy. Everybody does it differently. I discovered I would find it difficult to just sit here and not do anything except entertain. For me, having a goal is very important . . . I think you have to let a lot of things roll off your back; I was not able to do that in Sacramento or here at the beginning. But if you get a sureness about yourself and what you can do, you just go ahead...
...main problem with Micki & Maude is that Dudley Moore is manifestly not a moron. If he were, one might just possibly entertain Writer Jonathan Reynolds' premise, which tries to set Moore up logically, and without loss of the audience's sympathy, as a bigamist brought farcically to his knees when both his wives (Amy Irving and Ann Reinking) go into labor simultaneously and are assigned adjacent hospital rooms. As he nearly always does, Director Blake Edwards delivers the low, knockabout goods, and Moore is funny as he tries to attend both ladies and still keep his secret from...
