...then he and his team were put to the test. One after another the signals came: Chelsea's private school, Commerce Secretary Ron Brown's reluctance to sever his ties to his lucrative clients, the corporate sponsorship of the Inaugural hoopla. He nominated a core of advisers that included 14 lawyers, many of them multimillionaires, all of them earning more than $100,000 -- a feat matched by only 3% of all Americans. His inner circle belongs to a class defined not by its inheritance but by its graduate degrees. At least five, like Clinton, studied in England, and half...

Our athletic facilities are in most cases in use up to or beyond their capacities, and the department is constantly struggling to find ways to accommodate all those who desire to use them...
...Schott affair came yet another specter of bigotry: taking advantage of a federal court decision that forced the city to permit a huge Hanukkah menorah in a public square, the Ku Klux Klan erected a tit-for-tat wooden cross nearby.

Noises of the generation's falling hair and its disillusionments -- is that all there is? -- are muzzing in the American...

His passion the past four years has been to create career opportunities for mature swimmers like him -- seeking stipends and commercial sponsorship so post- collegiate athletes can hang on. He succeeded. His six-figure income reflects prize purses and exhibition fees of up to $25,000, some for races of 50 m lasting just over 20 sec. against longtime rival and Olympic teammate Tom Jager. He endorses swimsuits and looks ultra...
