...with little success. The House of Commons began debating whether all uninsured deposits at the two failed banks, meaning all those larger than $60,000, should be given federal protection. John Turner, leader of the opposition Liberal Party, argued against it. "Is there now to be an implicit government guarantee to bail out future depositors in any difficulty?" he asked. The banking failures are exacerbating the political troubles of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Two Cabinet members recently resigned; one of them faces possible charges of misappropriating campaign funds...
...FIRST ISSUE to consider is that of pressure. At the root of the opposition to the granting of an honorary to the President is the implicit notion of Harvard as a pressure group in our society. Some members of our community may prefer to call it "making a statement" or "putting Harvard's influence behind a moral stand" (that is, when they don't fall back on the cop-out of "he's not worthy").

There, spread out like all the treasures from Aladdin's cave, are the gems of nearly three-quarters of a century of labor: 228 paintings, 149 sculptures, nearly 1,500 drawings and just...
Many of the songs targeted for censure are performed by marginal rock acts or are obscure cuts on albums. Indeed, the W.A.S.P. song that Gore quotes has not even been released in the U.S. But implicit in the concerns of Browne and his peers is that writers and performers, not record companies, will be the ones to pay the heaviest price if a ratings deal is struck. "A lot of my records would have been banned or stickered under this system," says Randy Newman. "Even without it, a lot of my stuff has been kept off the radio." Fogerty recalls...
