After examining the corporate ties and nutritional writings of academics in several universities, including Stare and Mayer, the authors of the Rosenthal-CSPI study suggest that the "moonlighting for industry" of academics like Stare "impinges on professors' commitment to their students and their allegiance to professional objectivity. The report continues...
...several recent developments suggest this characterization may not be accurate. More and more, it appears, doctors and professors in prestigious universities are adopting Davis's contention that the standards of excellence are being waived too often for minority students.

Says Harold Klein, leader...
...couple of product defects: a nasal twang and a face that could stop a utility rate hike. "I don't use makeup," he sighs. "I discovered I looked worse wearing it." Still, Denenberg outran Walter Cronkite in a 1973 Pennsylvania poll on trustworthy public figures. Some colleagues suggest the scourge is using TV as a launching pad for another shot at public office. Denenberg admits, "I would like to have more resources...
