Ever since her searing experience during the Thomas hearings, University of Oklahoma law professor ANITA HILL has kept her own counsel for the most part. Not anymore. Beginning in August, Hill will take a nine-month sabbatical to explore the notion of founding (and funding) an institute to study racism and sexism in the U.S. Meanwhile, on Oct. 16, Hill and Georgetown University law professor Emma Jordan will convene a one-day conference on "Race, Gender and Power in America." Hill will take the mike as keynote speaker...
Parker is not aiming at archival preservation. In fact, some jazz purists fault him for taking liberties with the original material. Parker shrugs off the charge. "There's this romantic notion that cracks and surface noise are part of the charm of the old 78s. Not for me." And certainly not for the vast majority of the listening public -- particularly younger music fans -- who have grown used to CDs and sophisticated sound equipment.

"The deficit did not finance the growth of the Reagan years," Roberts insists. "Lower taxes...
...would be a mistake to underestimate the task facing the two men. Their biggest challenge will be to erect a nationwide organization without upsetting the enormous volunteer corps that got the Perot balloon off the ground. In addition, the gauzy notion of a bipartisan campaign, run jointly by a Democrat and a Republican, sounds better in theory than in practice. Rollins and Jordan, never before having teamed up even in their wildest dreams, may not agree instantly on the best approach, for example, to urban blacks or Southern evangelicals. And getting along with Perot may be harder than getting along...
