...when the data was in, when it was clear that students could easily perceive one of the truths of this place--that far from angelic, some professors are even "arrogant" and "condescending" -- University ideals were forgotten. Reality was sacrificed for gloss. And to what end? Harvard didn't even ask professors whether they cared if their critiques were redone. Of four whose evaluations were known to have been altered, three who were reached said they wouldn't have asked for the changes, had they known of them...
...meeting started with a light touch. Referring to the fact that Grunwald was responsible for Time Inc.'s several publications, Gorbachev listed them and teasingly asked, "Are you affected by antitrust laws, or have you simply forgotten all about them?" (Grunwald's answer: "We are not a monopoly. We do try for expansion, but we do not try for hegemony.")

THANKS RON said one, and a banner read THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT...
...their hometowns for what will be a particularly jubilant Fourth of July week, the celebrations may begin to drown | out the pain that they and their nation have suffered during the 17-day ordeal. But even the more-or-less successful resolution of the hijacking (tending to be forgotten was murdered Navy Diver Robert Stethem) seems unlikely to discourage those who would use hostages as pawns in a political power game and terrorism as a form of propaganda theater. On the contrary, the astonishing adroitness that a militant faction in an anarchic country displayed in monopolizing world attention, in effect...
