Without an honor code, Harvard remains an institution overtly suspicious of its students. Proctored exams, a practice that would disappear with an honor code, insult the very integrity we are meant to have. The proctors prowl up and down the aisles with the suspicion that we might cheat. Thus, during exams, students are reduced to "potential cheaters" and not considered mature individuals who have gathered to learn. Only one person can go to the bathroom at a time during an exam at Harvard. What kind of trust does this imply the University has in its students? Harvard applicants are accepted...

French Prime Minister Alain Juppe, who arrived on the scene soon after the blast, said no one has yet claimed responsibility, but suspicion immediately fell upon Algerian militants who had claimed responsibility for a string of similar bombings in 1995.

Reed's defense--"It's hard to make the argument that this race would have been significantly closer if the nominee had been someone else" (Buchanan? Alan Keyes?)--is plausible enough. Even so, next time the pressure will be on Reed to find somebody agreeable to Gary...
ELAINE SHANNON, who has been covering the FBI and the Department of Justice for TIME since 1987, was furiously reporting the TWA Flight 800 crash story last July when a pipe bomb blew up in Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park in the middle of the Summer Games. As suspicion fell on Richard Jewell, the security guard who had at first been considered a hero for spotting the bomb, Shannon enjoyed an insider's view of a criminal investigation that ended up going wrong in a painfully public way. "The FBI is a remarkable institution that often gets...
