Without institutionalized support services or minority groups to foster cultural awareness or celebration, the Chicano student will soon melt into the Harvard pot. It would be silly to indict proponents of the integrationist--really, it is assimilationist--philosophy as intentionally malevolent or racist; they probably geuinely believe that such ideology and subsequent University action is in the minority students' best interest...
...largest union (current membership: 1.8 million) during the past quarter-century. Three- Dave Beck, Jimmy Hoffa and Roy Williams - were convicted of federal crimes. Now there is an argument within the Justice Department about whether prosecutors should continue to urge a fed eral grand jury in Cleveland to indict Jackie Presser, who succeeded Williams as president in 1983.

After listening to hours of testimony about a multimillion-dollar drug-distribution network involving hired killers with a penchant for chain saws, U.S. District Judge Milton Pollack marveled that such iniquities "could be so coldbloodedly related." Yet the tales so coolly told in court helped indict 44 major traffickers and convict 16. The man doing the talking was Leroy ("Nicky") Barnes, a.k.a. "Mr. Untouchable." Barnes fingered Frank James, his ex-partner in drug dealing, for ordering his brother-in-law ice-picked to death. James, said Barnes, employed a four-man hit team; one aspiring killer slew...
