...decision to actively increase the number of Core classes was largely influenced by a 1997 report filed by the Core Review Committee, which was chaired by Pforzheimer University Professor Sidney Verba...
...doubtful whether anyone is ever going to look back on William Sidney Mount (1807-68) as a great American painter; the charm of his work is too modest, its range of feeling too circumscribed, for that. And yet, as the show of his paintings, drawings and prints at the New York Historical Society in Manhattan (before traveling to Pittsburgh, Pa., and Fort Worth, Texas) makes clear, there were reasons for his popularity, and he has a special place, very much his own, in the making of American art.

Among the guests: John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, Streisand's mother, songwriters Alan and Marilyn Bergman (the only invitees who knew the wedding date well in advance; all others were invited on short notice over the phone), "Tootsie" director Sidney Pollack, designer Donna Karan (who made the wedding dress), music producer Quincy Jones and composer Marvin Hamlisch, who conducted a 16-piece orchestra playing "Here Comes the Bride."

Starr has prevailed in his challenges to force presidential confidant Bruce Lindsey and adviser Sidney Blumenthal to testify, along with Secret Service agents, despite White House assertions of special privilege. And Starr asked the Supreme Court to skip the appeals process and hear arguments by the end of this month on the whole privilege question. He also went about gathering Monica Lewinsky's bookstore receipts, fingerprints and handwriting samples, amassing evidence for the day he finally confronts...
