...three-term council representative, Plants has often spoken for progressive issues, such as banning dining hall grapes and endorsing same-sex marriage laws. He is also a council "progressive" in the tradition of former council presidents Lamelle D. Rawlins '99 and Robert M. Hyman '98. Plants has criticized initiatives to cut the council's size, shorten debates and limit the role of the council to student services...
...bleakest fiction. They are ostracized by their communities. Some children interviewed in Harare--their words appear on the opposite page--insisted on using pseudonyms. They have no way to earn money and live in fear that they have the disease themselves. Many do. Young orphan girls often turn to sex to survive and end up catching the virus. A South African study found that 9.5% of pregnant girls under age 15 were HIV-infected. And there is virtually no money to help.

They joined steelworkers and the Sierra Club, Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan in a giant anti-trade jamboree...
...military should just enforce the policy as it had been intended upon its inception in 1994. That policy says that commanders cannot ask about a soldier's sexual orientation without specific evidence of homosexual conduct; soldiers for their part are allowed to serve as long as they keep their sex lives private. But the policy's many critics charge that this is not a realistic assessment of what happens in the barracks and that the policy actually creates a poisonous atmosphere of suspicion and deceit within the ranks. Clinton says the policy is the best he could hope for against...
