...Well, one thing I do want to be very clear about is that the development of our Core Curriculum was purely and simply an effort to improve the education of students at Harvard College. There was no intent of any kind to try to construct a model curriculum for anyone else and there was no intent of any kind to ever seek publicity for what we were doing. So that to some extent the impression may have been created because the newspapers picked it up that Harvard was purporting to provide the answer for everyone else--that is an artifact...
...other contemporary leader in the West. He had become a symbol of Canadian federalism who fought hard against the separatist yearnings of his fellow French Canadians in his native province of Quebec (see box). Swept to power on a wave of "Trudeaumania," he had once seemed the very model of a philosopher-statesman, blessed with an impressive intellect and an acerbic wit-not to mention a sensuous young wife. But last week Pierre Elliott Trudeau, 59, who had served three times as Canada's chief executive, was narrowly defeated in an election that he had suggested would decide whether...
...rink: and I thought back to freshman year, when "Title IX" was the reading assignment for the ninth week of a course.

Rhys, who was writing her memoirs when she died, observed: "If you want to write the truth, you must write about yourself. I am the only real truth I know...
...conclusion, I reiterate the feeling of many students: Harvard University does not serve society on a medieval model, remaining aloof from its conflicts and problems. I do not ask the University to decide unilaterally whether or not the Stevens boycott is the morally proper course. Rather, the most responsible position--morally, educationally, and administratively--is to allow students a meaningful say over how the services they use and pay for are conducted...
