Today, the election process does not at all reflect this ideal scenario. The advent of direct primaries and the decline of political parties' power have virtually eliminated any sense of a deliberative process. The system now depends on the voting public to select the candidates. The task at hand then becomes to educate voters, providing them with information about the candidates and their platforms, so that they can make well-informed and well-thought-out decisions. The media has, by default, become the link between the candidates and the people. Without television, radio and newspapers, those running for office would...
...annually honors excellent teachers of undergraduates. Haynes was an active advocate for safety before it was a "hot" issue and achieved concrete results, such as blue-light phones. Her calls for better first-year advising, improvements to the Office of Career Services and even cable television in the dorms reflect an understanding of student concerns. Additionally, her performance at last week's debates indicated that she knows how to get things done. While the candidates were busy mentioning how they can better work with Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68, she made one of the evening's most...

On pain of universal outrage and derision, the marvel's next book and all succeeding ones must be even grander than the first, and, while precisely the same, also boldly and completely different. Reviewers, who are in charge of outrage and derision--as well as words like resonant--will pout like rejected lovers at anything short of incandescence...
...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...
