...with some disappointment that I opened your newspaper without eyeing any mention of the recent visit by the Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus, at Harvard. As former President of Harvard's Leadership Institute, I have observed your newspaper's willingness to cover some of the high-profile and exceptional individuals that our organization, and others too, have brought to campus. Unfortunately, for someone as notable as the Secretary of the Navy, there was no coverage provided, and I believe that deprives your readers (and the many attendees) of quality news. I hope the Crimson will continue to report...
Lott regards Clinton as part of a generation reared in a more "permissive" and "anti-Establishment" atmosphere. He groups Clinton in a class of such other young Democratic Governors as Ray Mabus of Mississippi and Buddy Roemer of Louisiana, who "went off to school at places like Harvard and Yale and then came back to instruct their fellow Southerners in the errors of our ways...
...explosions tore through the Saudi Arabian National Guard building early this morning in Riyadh, killing six people, five of them American workers. U.S. Ambassador Ray Mabus confirmed that an explosive device had been found. The blast wounded at least 60 people, including 34 Americans.

Two groups have claimed responsibility. One, a previously unknown organization calling itself the Tigers of the Gulf, said it wants to drive...
Democrat Ray Mabus was hailed as the new face of Mississippi politics when he was elected Governor in 1987 -- a 39-year-old Harvard grad who vowed to fight racism and improve his state's decrepit public schools. But with his reform package thwarted by a stubborn legislature and the state economy sliding, Mississippi voters booted Mabus out in favor of Kirk Fordice, a Vicksburg building contractor who had never before sought political office. Fordice, 57, became Mississippi's first Republican Governor since Reconstruction largely by attacking Mabus for failing to deliver on his promises. But the Republican also played...
Even the part of the Republican glass that was half full contained muddy water. In Mississippi businessman Kirk Fordice ousted Governor Ray Mabus, a progressive Democrat. But Fordice's anti-liberal, antiquota, anti-welfare campaign had a strong racial undercurrent that could prove embarrassing to the national G.O.P. -- especially since ex-Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, running as a Republican, may well ride the same themes into the Louisiana Governor's mansion in this week's runoff...
