...want to thank Dhananjai Shivakumar, in his letter of March 6 to the Crimson, for pointing out that I did not imply that all Black students deserve C's. Witching Mr. Ira E. Stoll (in the Crimson of March 5) defend the integrity of his newspaper and freedom of the press to Ali, I couldn't help wondering: if he were a professor, would he ever give Black student...

She characteristically dealt with the unspoken question on everyone's agenda first: "I don't want you to think because I'm the President's wife, it's not O.K. to tell me what you think. I want everything on the table." Senior adviser Ira Magaziner describes his own role as akin to that of a ceo, with Clinton chairing the board. At Mrs. Clinton's insistence, the operation will be tightly scripted, with wall-posted schedules of deadlines for each of the 25 subgroups...
