...Black residents of the project knew and approved of this policy, we added the following comment: "None of this is easily reconciled with any conception of due process or fair treatment." We continued by pointing out the difficult ethical and legal issues that arise whenever the police try to maintain order and the evidence--mixed, at best--as to the effect of that effort. To link, as Mr. Louis then does, selective misquotations from our writings to instances of police brutality, torture, and shootings so as to suggest that we endorse these practices is not only irresponsible, but unconscionable...
Police readily acknowledge that force is used to uphold the law: however, many are quite reticent to acknowledge its use in maintaining order or setting disputes. The reason is simple enough the authority force in law enforcement activities is conferred by legal sanctions. Yet no clearly articulated legal sanctions govern police maintenance of order and settlement of disputes Despite the absence of guidelines, force is occasionally used--at times wisely and appropriately, at other times unwisely and inappropriately. Clearly a goal of public policy should be to decrease its unwise or inappropriate use. The problem is that it is precisely...
...some experts, is a system that would be more flexible than Bretton Woods and less volatile than the present regime of freely floating rates. One such arrangement was proposed last month by John Williamson, a senior fellow of the Institute for International Economics. It calls for countries to maintain their exchange rates within a range that would be much broader than the limits set by Bretton Woods, but much narrower than the recent wide oscillations of the dollar. Then, if a currency's value got too far out of line, that country would be obliged to take measures like...

Gallo Winery, which commands 27.7%. Privately held Gallo was reducing prices and boosting advertising to maintain its market share. Making matters worse for Coca-Cola, demand for wine was slack during all of last year and the first quarter of this year. While Coca-Cola earns a return of 10% to 15% on soft drinks and about 10% on Columbia Pictures, the return on its wine...
...other experts. They maintain that it is a waste of time to teach programming, because future computers will likely be fed their instructions in completely different ways. What is more, insists Karen Sheingold, director of the Center for Children and Technology at Manhattan's Bank Street College of Education,' 'the transfer of computer training to other areas is not necessarily automatic.'' One study of sixth-grade programmers from Cambridge, Mass., tends to bear Sheingold out: while 69% could instruct a computer to draw a 90° angle, only 19% could actually construct one on paper...
