...companies may find that Weber will bring even more pressure on them-not just from blacks-to set up affirmative-action programs. For instance, Vilma Martinez, head of the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund, says that Hispanics will see the ruling as "the means to open doors that have been closed for too long." Women's groups believe Weber may help them expand their already considerable gains. Even some white ethnic groups that feel left out in the scramble for economic opportunity, such as Poles, Italians, Ukrainians and Czechs, may interpret Weber as a challenge that they...
...Martinez and her daughter Chastity Dawn, 4, sat out the storm in the bathroom of her apartment in the Sun Valley development, where the clocks stopped at 6:15 p.m. sharp.
