...going to cause a hazard I'm not going to make a fuss about it," Kevin A. Doughton '01 said...
What is all the fuss about democracy and Mexico City's newly elected mayor, Cuauhtemoc Cardenas [WORLD, July 21]? Although he is a member of the center-left Democratic Revolution Party (P.R.D.), people should look at his record while he was governor of the state of Michoacan and belonged to the long-ruling authoritarian Institutional Revolutionary Party (P.R.I.).

...pert and pretty, smart and spunky--not at all someone we wish ill. When our sympathies shift to her, the movie sours. It is no help either that Ronald Bass neglected to write (or Mulroney was unable to find) a character in Michael. Why all this fuss over this lox, we keep wondering. Director P.J.

Lily told the court she and her son were just "experimenting" with incest, "to see what all the fuss was about," and happily, the judge, Scot Bligh ('75 Law), accepted her explanation. Now Lily's hard at work on her autobiography, Quality Time, due out October. This in addition to 200 hours of court-ordered community service at a local day-care center. Whew--talk about a full plate...
