There aren't many other alternatives. There is little personal incentive to carpool, and emissions controls can hardly become more stringent. Denver could build a mass rapid transit system, such as a light-rail system, and in fact Denver civic leaders have been talking for years about doing just that. Such a long term investment would likely be less expensive than paying the short term costs of automotive adjustments each year.

Harvard, more than any other university, has the resources and reputation to attract greater proportions of the available Black and female pool.

The biggest loser, at least for the moment, was Slobodan Milosevic, the demagogic Serbian party leader and Yugoslavia's most charismatic politician since Josip Broz Tito, who died in 1980.
