...term of office of all Directors of the AHA and members of the Board of Overseers, these elected representatives of Harvard Alumni in their respective roles should annually publish a report of their activities for the University on our--the alumni's--behalf, as our chosen representatives, to manifest our continued interest in and concern for our University. This is at least one way for meeting what I believe is their accountability to the out constituency who put them in those responsible positions...
...from having weathered life's storms. Her performance has an unstrained authority and is resonant with insight. She would make a marvelous Candida if some astute producer chose to revive the Shaw classic. Grodin is a kind of Dagwood uncharacteristically blessed with a heart and a mind. His manifest desire to do the right thing by both his absent wife and Doris contributes visibly to the felt compassion of the play.

After that confession, the romance is a cinch. He kisses off the roommate, and approaches Sheila humbly...
...politics. These plastic artifacts will only add to the mountain of information political historians will have to sift through some day in an effort doomed from the start by the law of diminishing returns, the law that characterized the entire Watergate investigation. In a larger sense, this law is manifest in our constitutional system of checks and balances. That is, no government agency is able to adequately police other agencies because the amount of information and the specialized knowledge required for such investigations is prohibitive. This may be one of the lessons of Watergate apparent in these records...
