...expressed desire for the improvement of education for women. While Radcliffe remained geographically distinct from Harvard, she did not have to articulate consistently her concern for women's education. Nestled in the Radcliffe Yard and at the Quad, Radcliffe College's existence spoke for itself. As the demands for merger increased, the issues specifically pertaining to women became obscured. In the last few years, we have begun again, irrespective of our individual opinions about merger, to speak about the particular educational needs of women, not because we are fragile delicate souls who cannot cope, but because we are women...

Operating revenues have climbed 31% since the merger, to $1.3 billion last year and net operating income has jumped 74%, to $108 million. But the firm's railroad operations are still only marginally profitable. Since the merger, Menk has managed to reduce the firm's payroll by 8% and retire 8,000 obsolete cars. But total labor costs have gone up 48%, and Burlington Northern has lacked the capital to buy enough new equipment to handle increased traffic. Last year...
