...departments of Government and Economics are housed in quarters too small to accommodate all of their faculty or the undergraduate programs for which they are responsible. The Government Department is fragmented among many locations, with my colleagues scattered in Littauer and Coolidge halls, the Kennedy School, the Center for European Studies and our tutorial office on Church Street. Our neighbors in Littauer, the Economics faculty, suffer from a similar dispersal...

The International Olympic Committee's 1996 decision to award Olympic-qualifying status to the F.I.S., organizer of skiing's World Cup circuit, nearly sparked violence at some European events. Says Fawcett: "The F.I.S. didn't want anything to do with us until they realized it was going to be an Olympic event and that there would be [TV] network interest and a great deal of money." Other riders felt the F.I.S. had little understanding of snowboarding's anti-Establishment culture...
