Gramm-Rudman is designed to work with a kind of relentless efficiency. The deficit ceilings set by the bill march inexorably downward. The target is $171.9 billion for the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, and $144 billion for 1987. Then the bill decrees that the deficit go down by $36 billion annual increments: to $108 billion in 1988, $72 billion in 1989, $36 billion in 1990 and finally zero in 1991. If Congress fails to meet these targets, the cuts that automatically kick in will be evenly divided between defense and domestic programs, and they are likely...

Apparently, it also helps Harvard departments and other universities make decisions about promoting or hiring young scholars. The Guide's unanticipated impact on academic careers has made it the focus of intense scrutiny by some faculty and administrators, who have led a relentless if futile crusade to purge subjectiveness from its pages. In the process, they have compromised its value to students, and in their zeal, they now threaten to emasculate the guide altogether...
