Others are not as willing to believe that the school is doing what it can. Elsa Porter, a member of the school's visiting committee, calls the school's record "dismal," and Lori A. Forman, a member of the K-School Student Association, citing the school's refusal to hire a minority recruiter, argues that "the budget has constantly dictated policy rather than what was ethically or socially right...
...will continue to grow, striving to become the Harvard Business School of the public sector. Few students and faculty would argue that it should restrict such expansion, since both reap the benefits of increased prestige, but some feel that in an effort to grow, it has forgotten them. Porter sums up the combination of concern and optimism. The K-School, she says, is "doing a lot of things. It's having growing pains...

Once at the Plaza, French pastries in the glow of the crystal hurricane lamps of the Palm Court come dear...

Now just about everybody seems to be enchanted by Bobby and his friends-Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Cy Coleman and Stephen Sondheim. By the end of April he will have appeared in Kansas City, Omaha, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. At the end of this week he will entertain the Reagans and their special guest, Prince Charles, at the White House-his third gig at the Executive...
