...regard for the family and maintain close kinship ties across the generations at a time when the weakening of traditional U.S. family bonds is a focus of concern. Many come from strongly patriarchal societies and find themselves in conflict with expanding social opportunities for American women. Most intangibly, latinos offer the U.S. an amalgam of buoyancy, sensuousness and flair that many northern peoples find tantalizing or mysterious?and sometimes irritating or threatening...
...city's Museum of Modern Art collection. Miriam ColÓn, whose Puerto Rican Traveling Theater gives summertime performances in ghetto streets from the back of a flatbed truck, has opened the first Hispanic off-Broadway theater in a recycled West Side firehouse and will offer plays in both English and Spanish. On the Lower East Side, the New Rican Village cultural center lures actors and dancers and poets. So whatever else the New York experience has done to Puerto Ricans, it has not stifled the creative impulse...
Some may argue that very little of the clean stuff circulates among the foundations that offer such gifts, so to start singling out the gifts of some as unnacceptable is hypocritical. A Kennedy School official, attempting to explain his approach to gifts such as the Engelhard million, said he found some validity in the argument President Lowell used to make, that "to reject one gift on moral grounds would be to certify the moral validity and rectitude of past gifts." This argument seems as much an abdication of social responsibility as Engelhard's explanation of why he chose...
...recently as the early 1960s, medicine had little to offer patients with impaired gastrointestinal tracts besides the standard intravenous feeding of sugar water. Even if fortified with vitamins and minerals and supplemented with predigested protein, the sugar solution provides only 500 to 600 calories a day, and not enough nutrients to meet the body's needs. Dr. Dudrick came face to face with the nutrition problem one weekend in 1961 when, as a young surgical intern in Philadelphia, he helped perform successful operations on three patients only to have them die from what the chief surgeon diagnosed as malnutrition...
...dining hall workers may well denounce the renegotiated contract. While the University does offer them a wage increase, many at the union meeting contended that the increase is still not enough to keep up with inflation. But more importantly, the University has made no concessions on benefits, the issue of central concern to most of the kitchen workers. Harvard now provides the dining hall workers with absurdly low pension payments--$90 a month after 25 years of service, and a 10 per cent reduction if a worker retires before age 62, and did not improve the pension plan...
