...refuses to support Boutros-Ghali because it is afraid of arousing the ire of Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), a hard-line reactionary whose world view has scarcely changed since the dawn of the Cold War. The many resignations of prominent Clinton staffers also reflect the President's political weakness. Granted, some, such as Energy Secretary Hazel R. O'Leary, have been forced out. But Senior Adviser George Stephonopolous, Chief of Staff Leon E. Panetta and Secretary of Labor Robert B. Reich are all leaving voluntarily. Yesterday, Food and Drug Administration Commissioner David Kessler announced...
...like football and Ultimate Frisbee in a Harvard student's life. Realistically, how many times does a class require you to count alligators? Do you have to dive for a frisbee while walking through the Yard? (On second thought, don't answer that.) Some might say Harvard intramurals should reflect the necessary competitive skills for Harvard life.

...could not help but repeatedly pause to reflect while reading Erica Schacter's "Pre-Professionals Are Not Morally Bankrupt" (Editorial, November 18). It was a well-written opinion that succintly captures the dilemma confronting all students here, especially seniors. However, when discussing the attitudes of Harvard students toward corporate professions, she seems to ignore the expectations that accompany the Harvard name. She writes that here it is "cool" to disdain those who enter corporate fields as greedy. I submit that if this is so, it is in large part because most of us face intense pressure to entere these "suitable...
