...method by which it was discussed and finally adopted. Harvard's administrators like to function in quiet, low-profile fashion, tinkering with the system but largely failing to consult the students who will be affected by their plans. True to form, the Core has arrived with a minimum of student input. It is strangely presumptuous--almost insulting--to ask undergraduates to buy the idea that a small number of Faculty members know enough about Harvard's problems to be able to suggest a replacement for Gen Ed.

The trial is set for July, and if Horsley wins, the courts will have added another rule to the complicated dating game...
...Carter Administration is paying dearly for its past support of inflationary increases in such areas as farm price props, the minimum wage, and Social Security benefits and taxes. "It will take a long time to overcome the inflationary actions of last year," says Bosworth, but he adds that the Administration is at last "taking a tougher line on anything inflationary."
