With a planning-grant from the Ford Foundation, Horner added para-professional training--as a safeguard for women who could might go jobless in an economic crunch--to the institute's programs. She said in January, "I'm becoming an economic pessimist. I worry that in a no-growth economy we are encouraging women into positions that won't be there. The recession could backfire on women, and we must be prepared for that.

In his closet O'Neill had 75 pairs of shoes; in his drive, a Bugatti roadster. What more could...
...Sometime next year, those Red Line subway cars will move out for the last time, and instead of screeching wheels at 1:20 in the morning, jackhammers at 7 a.m will awaken Eliot House residents. And in a few years -- three to the optimist, five or more to the pessimist -- the scenery should be a little better, when the John F. Kennedy Library graces the Charles River's banks...
