Should we give a spot to Susan? That's the question before a roomful of admissions officers at Mount Holyoke College. Susan, who has top grades and gushing recommendations, could surely prosper here. But what more, they wonder, would she bring to this cozy all-women's college in South Hadley, Mass.? Giulietta Aquino, Susan's advocate on the six-member committee, ticks off a few of her accomplishments. She is a decorated horseback rider aiming for the Olympics who commutes three hours a day between her home, school and horse barn but still finds time to tutor immigrant children...

The pardon spree is also the first Clinton scandal to offer local angles to city editors across the country...

Fineberg '67, Princeton professor Amy Gutmann '71 and former Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers. These candidates are all exceedingly strong, and we are sure the University would prosper under any of them. But because the deliberations have been conducted outside of the public eye, and because students have been repeatedly excluded from meaningful participation, we feel it necessary to express to the committee our views on the candidates and the criteria on which they should be assessed...
