...been leery of Attorney General Janet Reno. Last week Reno canceled Vice President Gore's plan to merge the Drug Enforcement Agency and the FBI. Then, she miffed Administration staffers when she threatened to force networks to curb TV violence. She had discussed her remarks with the White House -- except for that part. "She's very independent," says one official. "The thing you like about her is the thing you dislike about...

Associate Director for Labor Relations Carolyn R. Young '76 is offering the patrollers a 2.6 percent raise for 1993 and 1994. Budgets are tight all across the University--except, it seems, when it comes to the police administration's payroll. When you get right down to it, this is an issue of fairness. Harvard's patrollers are underpaid-down the river, at MIT. they make roughly 4 percent more...
