...truly enrich Harvard, the spots which we tenuously reserve in a "non-quota" manner for minority students should be given to those who really do need the "appropriate consideration."

Instead of giving the benefit of the doubt to under-represented minorities, a lower GPA can be accepted for a student who worked 15 hours a week to help her parents maintain the family; for a Vietnamese refugee with a lower verbal SAT score; for a student from rural West Virginia (where there are no science research institutions to do a junior...
...COLUMN NOTING THAT A MAN won the Pillsbury Bake-Off prize for the first time [NOTEBOOK, March 11], Margaret Carlson referred in a scabrously derogatory manner to men's assumed ineptitude in things domestic, notably cooking.

The principles of openness and freedom which guided our founding fathers must be maintained if this experiment in multicultural democracy is to be preserved in a vigorous manner. Furthermore, Simpson's legislation would also create a second-class citizenship status in America by denying legal immigrants who have become naturalized U.S. citizens public assistance benefits until they have worked in this country for at least 10 years...
