...powerful chair of the Foreign Relations Committee. If the United States does not ratify the treaty before it goes into effect, it will forfeit the opportunity to become an original party to the CWC and to determine much of its implementation. To waste this opportunity would be a grave mistake and an example of misplaced idealism on the part of uninformed officials. The Senate must seize this opportunity and ratify the treaty in the next few weeks; the reasons are manifold...
...junior faculty faces two especially grave concerns when confronting the issue of child care. First, the cost of child care is often prohibitive at the salary level of the junior faculty. In a survey distributed by SCSW, junior faculty using full-time day care services reported spending up to 35 percent of their after-tax income; those using parttime services reported spending up to 20 percent...
...should all be sickened by the beating of a 13-year-old child of any color in any country at any time. But we can no longer sit blindly by and think this child's being black in America in 1997 is a mere coincidence or a grave mistake for which no one but the three boys who beat him are guilty.

Hyman's attack on Jay is unfortunate because it undermines the credibility of the committee by injecting a note of partisanship where none exists. All three candidates for chair said that they saw no reason for politics to enter into the work of the committee; Hyman is doing a grave disservice to the committee by trying to make it appear partisan.

Perhaps this is Hyman's goal...
...produced more than 480 episodes, looking at subjects from Jesus Christ and Julius Caesar to Howard Stern and Judy Garland. Each hour (occasional specials air at two hours) moves along economically, dwelling on no single aspect of a person's life but rather cramming in the whole cradle-to-grave (or cradle-to-this-minute) story. While a filmmaker could produce an entire documentary on the subject of, say, Attila the Hun's retreat from Rome, Biography's look at the 5th century conqueror spends scarcely one minute examining that historic event. Compensation comes in the details offered about Attila...
