Still, the diversity campaign has already achieved a good deal by highlighting a problem that grew too blatant to ignore this season. Of the 26 new fall shows announced by the networks, none featured an African American, Latino or Asian American in a leading role. When the N.A.A.C.P. complained, the network honchos admitted the problem and began scrambling to add minority roles. NBC's ER brought on a black woman doctor and an Asian medical student, for example, while CBS's new series Judging Amy tossed in a black bailiff...
...Iberian artists, and the first unquestionably great Spanish painter to fall under his spell was Goya, more than 100 years after Velazquez's death. The reason was social. Most of his work was done for the King and the court, and was thus invisible to young artists. And practically none of it went abroad. Not until the museum age, when what had been private became public, did Velazquez become the intellectual property of mediocrity and genius alike. Numerically, this is a little show. But with Velazquez, a little goes a long...
...killers made their last videotape on the morning of the massacre. This is the only tape the Klebolds have seen; the Harrises have seen none of them.

At that early stage, though, only about a dozen cops had arrived on the scene, and none of them had protective gear or heavy weapons. They could have charged in with their handguns, but their training, and orders from their commanders, told them to "secure the perimeter" so the shooters couldn't escape and couldn't pursue the students who had fled. And by the time the trained SWAT units were pulling...
...shocked and dismayed this morning when I opened my copy of The Crimson and didn't find a front-page expos on the Owl Club Holiday Dinner and Cruise (Editorial, Dec. 1). I was offended that none of our roommates or girlfriends were asked for comment, nor were any members called to express their opinion of the night's events. But then I came to my senses and asked myself, "Where is the news in the story of 100 people having a fun, safe time at Harvard?" The answer probably has something to do with why there was no story...
