...interview, Bok said that he views thepoverty initiative as an avenue for Harvard tobegin addressing issues which may later beaddressed by the government policymakers. "At somepoint in the future the pendulum will swing backin the direction of trying to do something aboutpoverty." Bok said. "The question is how strong anintellectual base are we going to have at thatpoint...
...Long Day's Journey into Night as caustic tragicomedy rather than lugubrious apocalypse. Andromache is the first offering of a seven-play season, of which Miller will direct five. With characteristic confidence in his polymathic perversity, he has assigned himself an absurdist British comedy, N.F.

Some seers thought they knew, yet their conclusions were as contradictory as they were passionate...
...battle over Bork could be the culminating ideological showdown of the Reagan era. After nearly seven years in office, the President has altered the tenor of the nation's political debate, riding and guiding the pendulum swing from the liberal Zeitgeist of the 1960s to the conservative climate of the '80s. Yet for all the talk of a Reagan Revolution, for all the President's personal popularity and success in changing tax and spending policies, the social agenda of the New Right has remained largely unfulfilled. When he nominated Bork, Reagan said that the judge "shares my view...
