Although millions of us were born between 1965 and '77, please remember that millions of us reject the rude, crude and morally vacuous "values" your interviewers chose to use as examples of Generation X. Like our parents and grandparents, we know that only honest, hardworking and morally upright individuals can truly influence this nation in the right direction. Your incessant make-believe reporting has convinced many that these timeless virtues aren't relevant in today's world. Wrong again. CHARLES AKERS Caracas...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: TIME's Sally Donnelly reports that the Supreme Court decision to reject doctor-assisted suicide as a constitutional right will only shift the battle to the states. "This court is very reluctant to expand the concept of right to privacy, but they're not retrenching either. That suggests that the states, particularly those with constitutions which protect the right to privacy, will still have the freedom to argue this out individually."

...question what in mythical Harvard is worth preserving and what needs to be jettisoned.

But does our present diversity and understanding of past exclusions mean we have to reject this institution's past? I think we can draw insight from the examples of American immigrants. Just as those who immigrate to this country adopt the American Revolution as their revolution of independence, despite the chasms of class, race and ethnicity that may divide modern immigrants to the Minute...
WASHINGTON, D.C.: The White House asked the Supreme Court to reject a court order forcing Hillary Clinton to turn over documents to Kenneth Starr's Whitewater investigation. The Administration said that a federal appeals court was wrong when it concluded that notes taken by government lawyers last year as they helped Mrs. Clinton prepare for testimony before a Whitewater grand jury were not protected by attorney-client privilege. Despite criticism that Starr is engaging in a fishing expedition since his investigation has so far turned up little, lawyers apparently believe the notes might contain evidence that Mrs. Clinton's testimony...
