...York Democratic Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, 56, called a Harlem housewife named Esther James a "bagwoman," meaning, in Harlem patois, that she was a graft collector for the police department.

Nonetheless, Mrs. James's bag, in theory at least, should be comfortably full. Last week the State Supreme Court in Manhattan awarded her an extra $163,500, as a result of Adam's stalls...
Short of shooting her, as in the movie Divorce-Italian Style, there is virtually no way for a man to shed his wife in divorceless Italy.

Dean Monro has asserted that the HSA, being a legal corporation, need not disclose its financial arrangements. But surely the HSA is more than a corporation; it is a non-profit monopoly, supposedly operating in the best interests of the Harvard community. Just as a state government can view the books of a public works corporation, the Harvard student body and Faculty should have free access to HSA accounts and contracts. This applies particularly...
