...addresses the furniture problem only after the fact. One of the most important aspects of preventing RSI is setting up a proper workstation. "What's really necessary," Goodman says, "is to get the right height for the person using the desk." He went on to say that "in an ideal world, the University would provide desks with adjustable keyboard trays and adjustable chairs for everyone," though he admitted that this "might be an expensive way to not solve the problem." The reason, he explained, is that average computer users don't take the time to adjust their stations correctly because...
...Houses, we are told, are to become our homes away from home. Yet forcing smokers to stand outside their doors to have a cigarette tarnishes this ideal. Working smokers congregate outside their office buildings for a smoke break, not outside their homes. In dire need of someone to make a cogent defense of the right to smoke in the Houses, we find critics with unsatisfying, pragmatic objections. Outgoing Lowell House Master William H. Bossert '59 only objected to the policy on the grounds that it would be difficult to enforce and "lots of people standing outside the House, smoking" would...
...gone into a state-of-the-art laboratory to concoct the ideal judge to lighten his troubles, Clinton could not have conjured a better foil than Susan Webber Wright. Only a female Republican, Bush-appointed, generally unfriendly jurist could provide such a politically and legally sweet ruling.

...Bill Clinton pressured him to make an illegal loan to Susan McDougal, a partner of the Clintons in Whitewater. Testimony by Hale helped convict McDougal, her ex-husband James and former Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker, Starr's biggest prizes to date. All the same, Hale is not the ideal keystone for a case against the President. Not when Hale has pleaded guilty to fraud. And not when he started implicating Clinton only after federal investigators were closing in on him for fraudulent loan schemes. In February, after serving 20 months in prison, Hale got a reduction in sentence...
...finally she has taught us a great deal about our nation's Feminist-in-Chief, its leading Sensitive Guy. In public Bill Clinton surrounds himself with the Donna Shalalas of the world, the Alexis Hermans and the Janet Renos, the admirable career women of the 1970s ideal. But alone in a hotel room, with a trooper as emissary, it is the Paulas of the world he wants to see, with the permed hair and the puce lipstick and the long, blood-red nails--the gals with that come-hither look. There are things we probably shouldn't know about...
