The reason: Zuckerman, 47, has agreed to pay $182.5 million in cash to acquire the parent company of U.S. News & World Report (circ. 2.1 million), a purchase that will vault him into the major leagues of American journalism.

We should commend the College for its diligent work of the past twenty years towards this goal...
Perhaps the most deplorable aspect of Coleman's action was his utter insensitivity to the fact that breaking this confidence helped to accentuate the climate of danger that already surrounded Reverend Jackson. Somehow Hirschorn and others consistently overlook this, while condemning the one alleged threat against Coleman's life, they remain silent about the more than one hundred death threats against Reverend Jackson (far greater than the number received by any other candidate), or the bombing of his headquarters in Anaheim, California by two whites. We, like Minister Farrakhan, feel that Coleman or anyone who would so carelessly enhance such...
