...eventually agreed to bring her case to the Administrative Board (Ad Board), which must approve course withdrawals. He then wrote her a letter informing her that the Ad Board approved her request. The ambiguously-worded instruction--such as one section that stated that it "would be completely inappropriate for you to interject the specifics of your 'special circumstances' in future discussions within the University"--worried the student. She feared the letter--an official part of her University records--implied psychological problems on her part rather than a straightforward case of sexual harassment. She asked her senior tutor to rewrite...
...One graduate student told of the repercussions of speaking out. In her senior year here, she attended a dinner at a professor's home along with the professor's colleagues and graduate students. After the dinner, she says the professor humiliated her by "coming on to me sexually in front of his peers." The student talked to Walzer and others.

Without these continued efforts to combat nonconscious forms of institutional sexism, many qualified women would not hold their present positions. Political actions by both men and women are encouraging professional...
AQUICK-STRIKE FORCE would be no help to future presidents faced with crisis like the embassy takeover, except to give them one more option that could endanger hostage' lives. But it would be very convenient for future Secretaries of State who might itch to tip the balance in some civil war in Africa or Asia. Proponents of the force say that today our government understands the dangers of intervening in complex local conflicts, and would only use a quick-strike force to defend our "legitimate interests...
