...heard testimony from a witness who said she saw the mayor in a Virgin Islands hotel room last year with convicted drug dealer Charles Lewis and a quantity of cocaine. If Barry is forced to resign or decides not to run for a fourth term next year, Jesse Jackson may enter the race...
...that sociological evidence strongly buttresses this % collegiate pecking order. But, in truth, it is nearly impossible to calculate the value added by, say, a Princeton degree compared with one from a selective but less prestigious school. Totting up the comparative educational backgrounds of honorees listed in Who's Who may reveal something about those admitted to Princeton, but little about the quality of the experience once there.

Moscow said the trip was long planned, but there was little doubt that the presence of Ligachev, a hard-liner known for his resistance to Gorbachev's reforms, could not help reassuring intransigent East Germany...
