...affirmative action in higher education is over, and Ward Connerly won. The developments at the University of California since Connerly's Proposition 209 banned racial preferences will be repeated all over the nation if similar laws are adopted in such states as Texas and Florida, where Connerly, the Pied Piper of color blindness, plans to bring his crusade.

Following Richard Meier earlier in the week, Renzo Piano, one of the world's foremost architects and the man responsible for the planned revamping of the Harvard University Art Museums, spoke to a packed Piper Auditorium last Thursday. Famous for his work in such major spaces as Houston's Menil Collection, Osaka's Kansai Airport and Paris's Centre Georges Pompidou, Piano's speech attracted so large a crowd that not only was the auditorium packed, but even the secondary broadcast room was standing-room...
