...note that critics complain that House Minority Leader Ford is "ruled solely by ambition." It has been my pleasure to know and work with Congressman Ford for the last 15-odd years.

Some historians note that the phrase was indeed in use at the time of that ill-fated event, and L.B.J. might have done well to look up its outcome: John Ball was drawn and quartered, and Wat Tyler's head was impaled upon London Bridge...

There is no undergraduate concentration in religion here, as there is at Princeton and Yale; and the Philosophy Department there is notorious for its preoccupation with linguistic analysis. An undergraduate at Harvard cannot make religion his major academic interest. Even opportunities for study of religion outside one's concentration are slowly disappearing, although they were inadequate to start with. History of Religion 101, the introductory survey...
