Mansfield: In the first place, Professor Bane, I like the pride in your statement, "I had to be better than the men against whom I competed," and that's why I think pride is the essence of this situation, more than justice. Both of you spoke of the need for diversity, and both of you, I think, spoke of equal opportunity. I think what we have to expect in America is that equal opportunity will bring diversity. The way to diversity is through equal opportunity, and not through affirmative action preference. That is our principle, it is essentially a liberal...
...seems that a more general reconsideration of the College's responsibilities is in order. Over the years, the institution has taken pride in providing a pure liberal arts education, shunning anything in the curriculum that might appear to be career preparation. That philosophy worked fine in 1960, when only 10 percent of the graduating class sought immediate employment, or even in 1970, when one-fourth did.

For others, it is a symbolic act of identification. To everyone, the mezuza affords good luck and represents pride in one's heritage and a pledge to perpetuate a worthy tradition. Considered a religious article, an authentic mezuza carries with it the sacredness of a Bible; its destruction or mishandling is forbidden under Jewish law. Yet, some time between the first day of vacation and Christmas Eve, my mezuza...
...forgotten that the Raiders originally styled themselves after those stalwart Army football teams, the Black Knights of the Hudson, that Owner Al Davis so admired as a child growing up in Brooklyn. But the Raiders' silver-and-black has come to be associated with villainy, a source of pride to the wearers, who look affectionately upon mayhem...
