...role models who through their achievements have brought great pride to members of their ethnic group and other Americans. Two of the finest examples of distinguished guests who have participated in our cultural recognition program are Dr. Lauro F. Cavazos, former U.S. Secretary of Education (Leverett House) and Javier Perez de Cuellar, Secretary General of the United Nations (Quincy House). At our request, these and other distinguished guests took time from their busy schedules to spend the day with our undergraduate students...

Sam Nunn (D-Ga.), who led the fight against the use-of-force resolutions, and U.N. Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar, who made a last ditch appeal for peace, have spoken out against a unilateral cease-fire. One doesn't throw the first punch and then try to reason with the person thus provoked...
