...situation repeats itself year and after year, the stereotypes remain continually in force, and Harvard women often neglect to look beyond those surface impressions. Believing themselves to be more intelligent, more socially refined, and vastly superior in every way, a lot of Harvard women simply write off the credibility of the other colleges and universities and pronounce the women silly airheads--their only desire in life being to net a Harvard man who will marry them and make them happy forever and anon. In many cases this label is not deserved--yet little is ever done to dispel the myths...
...place once so feared, Ellis Island has a surprisingly welcoming air today, though most of its 35 buildings have badly deteriorated from decades of neglect and vandalism. It would take an estimated $150 million to save them all. "It sure looked better then," admits Sophie.

Carter won the White House in 1976 as a sweet-psalming loner circuit riding outside the party structures. As President, owing little or nothing to the party, he practiced a cool neglect of it. His motivations were rooted in his own interests, not the party's: a perfect '70s politician. He did not encourage new Democratic talent or ideas; he neglected both the mechanism and the vision of the party, its sheer reason for being. Thus Carter's defeat is less...
