Last month, one alumnus questioned whether the role of Radcliffe's president was "to be a thorn in Harvard's side." But with women holding only 7 percent of Harvard's tenured posts and representing only 17 percent of all faculty appointments, and with the festering problems of sexual harassment and unequal ratios of male to female admits, it is necessary for the President of Radcliffe to speak out--or give up her title as the highest advocate for women on campus...
...think that there's going to be a terrible amount of pressure to withdraw on people like [former Secretary of State Alexander] Haig, [former Governor of Delaware Pete] duPont, and even [New York Rep.

It has formally abolished its international verification commission. And three weeks ago it, in effect, abolished itself: the plan, said the communique of the five Central American Presidents gathered to assess its progress, had not been implemented, but no deadlines were extended.
