...important to recognize young leaders as role models, as the future leaders of this country who are working hard to change the world.” Initially skeptical of what difference she could make in politics, Madigan was inspired by her work under late Senator Paul M. Simon, D-Ill. She later taught young women in South Africa and witnessed the effects of apartheid firsthand. She said that her time there motivated her “to pursue social justice and hopefully change the world for the better.” “This award will serve...
...that, however, is a simplistic whodunit (was it the loose cannon? The straight arrow? The butler?) without too many character nuances getting in the way. Scenes with the mother of the dead girl, intended to add a more human dimension to the murder, tend toward the maudlin and ill-advised. The central scene of the movie, which is destined for infamy (although it is actually less graphic than other sex scenes in the film), features a three-way between Morris, Collins, and Maureen in which Collins’s attraction to Morris becomes apparent and Maureen gains some blackmail material...

...ensure that the examination is in fact worthwhile and well-designed. But inherent problems are certain to remain. In particular, GRE writing section grades are notoriously correlated with essay length. The Princeton Review GRE preparation book admits this trend and even advises test-takers to strategize accordingly. This ill-conceived scoring method will be counterbalanced, however, by a new policy of sending, along with scores, the writing samples themselves to graduate school admissions committees, who can evaluate their quality more adeptly than GRE graders. Prospective graduate school students have reason to rejoice at most of the changes...
