...being auctioned off, piece by piece, to the highest bidder. For example, it is possible to become a full fledged member of the Radcliffe Alumnae Association upon completion of a package of non-credit, continuing education courses. The secrecy in which alleged negotiations are being carried out reinforces the notion that there is something to hide. This year in its "Report of Giving" Radcliffe has concealed much of its administrative outlay under a heading of "programs and financial aid." I believe a more accurate accounting of overhead would show administrative costs of close to 50 percent, or about twice...
...biography of Kissinger that, while attempting to convey his brilliance, criticized him for failing to fully appreciate the messy openness of America's democracy and the strength it derives from basing its foreign policy on moral ideals. He was not thrilled. In this volume he rather effectively debunks the notion, put forward by myself and others, that growing up as a Jew in Nazi Germany bred in him a reverence for order over ideology, and he ends with an eye-moistening 1946 letter his father wrote him about idealism.

Feminism suggests that a woman's place in life is determined by each individual woman...
...that very important pool, we're not going to have enough soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen to make our military run," says Hunter, a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee and a veteran who won the Bronze Star after taking part in helicopter assaults in Vietnam. The notion of recruiting such folks to the military came to him after watching Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan, in which a Stateside Army officer lacks an arm. The California Republican says he plans to discuss the idea in a scheduled meeting with Defense Secretary WILLIAM COHEN...
