...matter the situation, the fact is that that same day was just another ordinary day in the suburban Detroit home of Isiah Thomas. No engraved invitation came. The next day, he probably read about America's Olympic selections in the newspaper: Jordan, Magic Johnson, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird. No Isiah Thomas...
Hill's story is convincing, and the scenario she poses is entirely plausible. In 1983, Stanford University professor Terry Karl left her post at Harvard even after she won a sexual harassment case against a senior professor here. In this Saturday's Boston Globe, speaking on the record for the first time, Karl wrote, it is "strange to insist that Hill or any other woman must quit her job, not take advantage of job opportunities, or file a complaint in order to demonstrate her credibility in a sexual-harassment case."

On another wall is a tapestry of Karl Marx, a present from fallen East German leader Erich Honecker. Elsewhere sit a replica of Lenin's telephone; a wood sculpture from Fidel Castro; and busts of Marx, Engels and Lenin. Gus Hall, aging chairman of the Communist Party U.S.A., calls his New York City office a "museum of history." But among all these historic mementos, Hall is, unwittingly, the prime exhibit...
