...ROTC legally excluded Jewish people, Latinos or Asian Americans, would President Rudenstine mull over maintaining a relationship with ROTC in the hopes of being the grand influencer of policy? Think about it. If ROTC egregiously discriminated against any other group of undergraduates, except gay ones, would Harvard still have official ties to the organization? Of course not. We gay people are second-class citizens in this country--because of U.S. and state laws--and in this university--because of Harvard's continuing relationship with ROTC...

Security Council since the invasion last August. Perez de Cuellar did bring . Saddam something new to mull over: a formal proposal that once Iraqi troops left Kuwait, they would be replaced by a U.N. peacekeeping force that would exclude U.S., Saudi and other troops objectionable to Baghdad.

"This is for six months. You make pancakes with it. I buy everything big." Her monthly budget is tightly knotted around fixed costs: $400 goes for rent, not including gas and electric bills; Lorena's school, Immaculate Conception, is $80 a month; $15 goes to Mervyn's department store for clothes bought earlier; food takes $40 a week; Mull's bus pass...
