According to figures provided by Kennedy School spokesperson Steve Singer, there are only two women and four minorities among the school's 43 tenured professors...
...players rejected a long-simmering proposal by Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing and other all-stars to scrap their players union. (Their agents think they can get better contracts by pursuing an antitrust lawsuit against the league.) "This is a clear repudiation of an agent-orchestrated revolt," says TIME sportswriter Steve Wulf. The losers may challenge the election results with legal roadblocks that could delay the opening of the season.

...most impressive things about Ripken's 13-year streak, says Wulf, is that unlike Gehrig, Ripken is frequently forced to play day games after having played late the night before.

Wednesday, he'll break it. TIME sportwriter Steve Wulf says Ripken's achievement can be explained in a word: attitude. "He just wants to be in the lineup every day," Wulf says. "Unlike most ballplayers today, Ripken has been conditioned to play baseball every single day. Most players grow up having their managers give them a day off every now and then. Not Cal." Gehrig's record has stood since...
