...Harvard-Radcliffe students, we are concerned that Kohl is not an appropriate speaker at an event that celebrates the conclusion of a liberal education. The most distinguishing characteristic of Chancellor Kohl is his relentless drive for power, which hardly qualifies him as a positive role model for graduating seniors...
Reflecting the influence of feminism, the report sharply criticizes Rome's relentless use of non-inclusive nouns and pronouns (for instance, in referring to believers as "men" or "sons"), which the American bishops have been trying to banish from their own documents. One problematic passage in the Catechism, though it was not specifically cited by Lipscomb's panel, introduces a list of heroic women in the Bible by terming them "weak and feeble." The U.S. bishops did not dispute the text's predictable conservatism on controversial moral issues like birth control, but they did urge that such subjects...
...able to take particle physics beyond the Standard Model will automatically win prizes, prestige and added power in the profession. The quest has attracted some of the most driven personalities in science.

Many of the nearly 19 million new jobs created during the booming '80s were in nonorganized service industries and small businesses. Relentless churning in the job market has also hurt Big Labor, as job security has begun to take precedence over concerns about benefits and pay increases. During the '80s, TWA, Phelps Dodge, Boise Cascade, International Paper and countless other firms cracked down hard on labor, imposing pay cuts, scaling back benefits...
