Despite President Bok's recent statement on gift policy, the administration's agreement, which allows a plaque in the library to acknowledge that the funds were given in Engelhard's memory, shows that it is possible to use moral criteria without embarrassing or compromising the University. Engelhard, an industrialist whose political and financial participation in South Africa directly supported the apartheid regime, is hardly an appropriate figure for memorialization by a school of public policy. The administrators at the Kennedy School who accepted the compromise worked out by its committee on gifts showed a concern for moral responsibilities...
...thicken the soup of a repeated chord sequence in the bass and guitar; indeed, throughout The Bells these traditional jazz instruments are worked into Reed's rock songwriting better than most so-called fusion bands ever manage. Reed advertises his new orientation on the album sleeve, prominently displaying his statement. "If you can't play rock and you can't play jazz, you put the two together and you've really got something."

Using weapon launchers as the basis for measuring these arsenals (it would be almost impossible...
...bitter and theatrical. One night some parents carried in a child's coffin: while placard-bearing children blew out candles, a parent read a statement foretelling the death of a school because the board had marked the principal for dismissal. Other nights featured debates pitting blacks against whites, those who valued music instruction against those who wanted foreign languages. It was neighborhood against neighborhood, teachers against administration, north Evanston vs. south Evanston. "We may have generated more hostility and more unfulfilled expectations by opening debate than if we had never asked for opinions," says Board Member Mary Anne Wexler...
