THAT MEANS THAT Harvard does not receive large numbers of qualified minority applications for Faculty positions because there is a dearth of qualified minority candidates. The report does not describe this "unfortunate fact of limited supply," as it puts it, merely to proclaim despairingly, "That's the way it is; there's nothing we can do." Instead, it recommends several ways for departments to hire a larger share of minority scholars: reserving two visiting professorships each year for minority or women scholars; giving serious consideration to creating new Faculty positions for qualified minority candidates when openings don't exist...
Thus as the shooting intensified, the U.S. could do little but proclaim neutrality, work behind the scenes to encourage mediation efforts and hope for the best. The best, however, in this case appeared to be none too good...

With an advertising budget of more than $600,000, the book has been ballyhooed in a barrage of full-page newspaper ads, some of which proclaim in big headlines: "Why You Will Probably Lose Everything in the Coming Depression." Casey is embarking on a lecture tour and starting a $ 145-a-year investment newsletter based on the book. On the way to the economic apocalypse, he will most likely make a bundle...
