...they were, after all, at Harvard. These two statements may be true; however, in combination they do not guarantee good teaching and all too often produce TFs who are simply teaching sections for the $3,000, who nod and say "uh-huh" at anything that bears resemblance to a remark in basic English...

Meanwhile, women's groups, incensed at a remark leaked by a White House aide relegating Albright to the "second tier," met twice with Gore to remind him and his boss how much they owed the soccer moms for their re-election. By then Albright was the one candidate to score at least a B on every criterion, piling...
