...week at West Point, where they were given carte blanche to ask questions. "I had forgotten how carefully scrubbed and polite cadets are," said Tompkins, an Army staff sergeant in the South Pacific in W.W. II. Concluded Flamini: "Some may find it hard to accept West Point's honor code as anything more than elitist mumbo jumbo -but there is something to the place." That "something" and the scandal's scope are the story: edited by Ronald Kriss, an ex-Army specialist third class; written by James Atwater, ex-Korean War lieutenant; and researched by Anne Hopkins, granddaughter...

Later, in a tent lined with the same red cloth as a Versailles salon, he entertained the Fords at a dinner on the grounds of the French embassy...
...Harvard Medical School uses a pass-fail system of grading in the preclinical portion of the curriculum and does not calculate class standings. Grades are given, however, in the clinical years, and the grades A and B are considered honor grades. Since students do not take all of the same clinical courses, it is difficult to compare overall performance. However, all students are required to take "core" clerkships in medicine and surgery. The Registrar has reviewed the records of all students graduating in 1974 and 1975 and has calculated the percentage receiving honor grades in both medicine and surgery...
