President Neil L. Rudenstine has been Harvard's greatest fundraiser, propelling our endowment to approximately $19 billion. We encourage President Rudenstine and his successor to follow Princeton's lead and to institute a similar financial aid system for Harvard College. In its quest to assemble the most stimulating intellectual and social undergraduate community, Harvard must do its best to ensure that no one rejects an offer of admission because of limited finances...
...determination to deploy a missile defense system. Domestic politics may push Blair to come out in favor of the project, but no one else in Europe is convinced. Last summer Clinton managed to avoid a spat over his national missile defense (NMD) program and punted the issue to his successor, arguing that missile-busting technology was still unproved. While Powell lately has signaled lukewarm support for missile defense, Bush?s Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, is one of nmd?s biggest cheerleaders. Europe?s leaders fret that the U.S. plans will vitiate arms-control regimes and encourage Russia and China...
...process and should demand an explanation from Rudenstine. That a handshake at the first-years' President's Dance has been most students' sole interaction with Rudenstine is all the more reason for them to contact selection committee members now, when the committee is on the brink of choosing his successor. If that successor is similarly distant from undergraduate concerns, students will have been silent accomplices to the crime. There are four candidates left on the short list. There is still time for undergraduates to identify the candidate who best represents their interests and lobby on his or her behalf...
...reverse those orders, he will face howls of protests from environmental groups. "We laid a few traps," chirps a happy Clinton aide. In the 95 years since the practice was established under Teddy Roosevelt, no President's designation of a national monument has ever been reversed by a successor. But Bush aides insist they can circumvent the moves--and please the mining and logging industries--by writing land "management plans" for the monuments that allow for some commercial use. "Oh, right," replies Bruce Reed, Clinton's domestic-policy adviser. "I'm sure the public won't notice that...
...planted the seeds for an accord at his swearing-in as Starr's successor, in October 1999, when he said it is more important to assure that "justice shall be done" than to win cases. Within days, Ray received a call from the President's private lawyer, David Kendall, who'd spent six ugly years battling Starr. But Ray and Kendall had a clean slate. A tough prosecutor in New York City, Ray had joined Starr's team as an assistant in April 1999--months after the Clinton impeachment ended. Now he and Kendall began a series of regular talks...
