...Led by sophomore quarterback Ricky Rahne, who tied a school record with four touchdown passes, Cornell (2-0) easily dismissed Fordham...
...group of New England educational leaders, led by Rudenstine and Tufts University President John DiBiaggio, recently traveled to Washington to lobby legislators and White House officials, including Chief of Staff John Podesta. We hope that Congress and the Clinton Administration will listen to the universities and maintain, if not increase, current research efforts. The programs are threatened by the federal spending caps enacted by Congress during the 1997 budget agreement, which allowed President Clinton and then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich to claim victory while delaying the hardest choices for a few election cycles. The result is that even...
When Clinton ran again as an incumbent, he might have been expected to face a Fifties Guy--some 58-year-old Governor or 61-year-old Senator or Jack Kemp (Occidental College, class of '57) who got the vice-presidential nomination.

He lashes out at Jews as too influential (using the kind of rhetoric that led fellow Catholic conservative William Buckley to conclude, in a 1991 National Review article, that Buchanan was an anti-Semite). But he also argues that Greek-Americans, African-Americans and other "hyphenates" are too outspoken on foreign policy--drowning out the white Anglo-Christian voices he sees as truly representative...
