Retraining adminstrators--while retaining the present Ad Board secrecy and high standard of proof--will have little effect. Activists and student publications should stop telling women that a more sensitive disciplinary body will be able to address their concerns adequately. Only a massive overhaul of the personnel of the Ad Board, along with a shift in the burden of proof, will provide the Harvard community with an effective response to the problem of acquaintance rape...
Instead of suggesting how Texas can devise a court-ordered overhaul of its school-financing system, Williams' forces have bombarded the electorate with commercials linking Richards to lesbianism and liberalism. In lieu of proposing ways for the state to close the budget deficit, Richards blasted the airwaves with poorly substantiated spots suggesting that Williams is a "deadbeat" guilty of shady business deals.

But even that would do little good if there is no place to put them. No solution will be possible without an overhaul of the foster- care system, which in many cities is on the verge of collapse. All too often, children are separated from siblings and shuttled from group homes to relatives to foster families, with no sense of the safety, security or stability they need to succeed in school and elsewhere...
