...falling apart. In a calamity last July that was mercifully forgotten with the advent of Hurricane Katrina weeks later, heavy monsoon rains flooded Bombay for a week as the city's 150-year-old drains and sewers collapsed. At least 435 people died. The infrastructure bears other scars of neglect. In the city's small and ancient stock of trains, each is crammed with an average of 4,500 people, although most have a capacity of 1,750. As a result, passenger groups say, an astonishing 3,500 travelers die every year on the tracks, hundreds simply falling from...
...Still, Jeb's penchant for ideological overreach - especially regarding his obsession with shrinking government - has often backfired. While the state's threadbare child welfare agency is rife with neglect and malfeasance, critics complain that he has handed out millions of dollars in unorthodox tax breaks to companies that donate to private schools. Jeb, a morally conservative Roman Catholic, may eschew his brother's work habits, but he shares his Manichean world view - evidenced last year during his polarizing crusade to keep Terri Schiavo alive...

In much the same way, Harvard has not taken the concrete steps it should to begin to solve the problems of race relations on campus. But it’s not simply oversight that prompts administration neglect of these issues. It’s fear, mostly of alumni. The men who run this University think those who went there in years past and who now provide its financial support will react with alarm should they become enlightened and allow too many female professors, or give too much...
...family contribution for students with family incomes under $60,000 per year and dramatically reduced the contribution of families with income under $80,000, a move that pushed Harvard far ahead of its competitors, and will hopefully generate a ripple effect across higher education. But Harvard must not neglect the students (and their) families with annual incomes too large to qualify for Harvard’s grants, but who still struggle to finance a college education...
