...procedures, and more generally a failure to respect the ethics of procedure. As I pointed out in a letter of Nov. 9, 1998, to Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Carol J. Thompson, the good character of my colleagues in the Department of Government does not obviate the need for fair process in tenure review at Harvard (the letter, along with other pertinent documents, can be found at ). Indeed, recognition of the necessity for procedural safeguards, without reference to the quality in individual character, is already, in a variety of ways, built in to Harvard's tenure review system...
...might distort their judgment. In this context it is curious to hear the associate provost of Harvard University downplay the reach and significance of his administrative position. It is odd to witness the director of the Program in Ethics and the Professions depreciate the importance of fundamental norms of fair process.

It is possible, however, that the copy would develop quite differently. Is it fair to the new child to place it in a family with such unnatural expectations...
...Washington the talk of the town this week will probably be VANITY FAIR's look inside the tormented saga of BILL and HILLARY CLINTON's marriage. GAIL SHEEHY's 21-page report examines the psychological underpinnings of the First Couple's frequently anguished relationship. Among the highlights is a rare interview with Dorothy Rodham, Hillary's mom, who sheds light on the First Lady's seemingly superhuman stoicism: "She is a very sensitive person. But she is able not to overemotionalize it...She doesn't go into one of these horribly overwrought kinds of tizzies." Adds Mom: "That...
