...Bill was exceptionally bright, even for Harvard. He was brighter than most professors I had. Almost everyone who met him had difficulties dealing with him. Living with Bill had a negative effect on my performance. I felt inferior. Like when I had brainstorms, ideas I thought were really special. I would go talk to Bill about them. He would give me arguments for and against starting from the 12th century. It was demoralizing...
...exists on two fairly distinct levels, the academic and the social. Academic sexism is less noticeable, less important in an everyday context--unless you're in a heavily male field such as the sciences, where the professors still tend to look on women as members of an inferior species.

...scandal is making foreign buyers wary of U.S. grain and with good reason: they have been getting many shipments that are short-weighted, composed partly of inferior-quality and broken grain, or contaminated by dirt or moisture. Last week a delegation of European grain company officials were in Washington to press similar complaints. American farmers and dealers alike are angry and anxious for an end to the problems. "We produce a good, clean product," one Iowa soybean grower told that state's Democratic Senator Richard Clark. "I'll be damned if we're going to let petty...
