What is apparent is that the system for dealing with environmental hazards on campus must be reformed. Those administrators who deal directly with students should not have to rely on third-hand information from lower-level bureaucrats. The recent misunderstanding arose in part because Jewett was not included in key meetings of the Environmental Safety Committee--the University body that sets its environmental policy--about whether to notify the University community of the water contamination...
...three years at the helm of the 70% black school system, Roussell alienated whites by, among other things, revising the "tracking" system that had long channeled black students into lower-level courses. After the board's six white members voted to get rid of Roussell last December, five black board members quit in protest.

...House aides stage debates, which they call "scheduled train wrecks." Aides once invited opposing sides to lobby the President separately, but quickly realized that Bush prefers -- and benefits from -- live skirmishes. Bush asks questions during the back and forth, takes copious notes on White House pads and often asks lower-level officials for their views. "He doesn't want filters," said a participant. "He actually wants to sit there at the table and listen to Darman fight with Reilly." Darman argued in one meeting that the clean-air proposals were too expensive for the health and safety benefits gained...
