Then, even more audacity. He not only claimed his mandate. He defined it right on the spot. Seizing the third rail of American politics, he promised to reform Social Security with, at minimum, partial privatization. He then added his intention to radically redo the tax code--which includes entertaining such ideas as entirely abolishing the Internal Revenue Service by going to a national sales tax. You cannot get more radical than that. His subsidiary aims, earthshaking in any other context but almost minor in this one, are kneecapping the lawsuit industry with serious tort reform and installing a conservative judiciary...

...Corporation denounces the South African apartheid system as “repugnant and inhumane†but announces that it will employ a system of proxy voting for partial divestment, asking the companies in which it invests to withdraw from South Africa. The Corporation rules out complete divestment as a “relatively ineffective means of pursuing ethical endsâ€; President Bok expresses reluctance to use the endowment as a political tool. The fight over divestment extends to the Board of Overseers and the Corporation, Harvard’s governing boards; professors, student groups, and alumni associations petition...
