Guinier will become the first female African-American professor in the 181-year history of HLS. A former Clinton nominee and former NAACP lawyer and an expert on voting rights and civil-rights law, Guinier is a welcome addition to the HLS faculty. However, her appointment is the first in what continues to be a painfully slow process of bringing professors of minority ethnicities to the Harvard University faculty...

Skiing is a hazardous sport, and the last hour before the lifts shut down is the most dangerous. Legs are tired, vision is impaired and judgment can be poor. The expert skier knows this. The Kennedys should never have been allowed to play their game. This death was not just another Kennedy tragedy; it was an act of sheer stupidity. DICK KENT Encino, Calif...
