...women involved in these cases, the lack of official action has been both astonishing and frightening. Even if the College is reluctant to expel these students, it is still unclear why the votes to dismiss have not yet been taken by the faculty. As the woman raped by Elster told Perspective last week, "The way I think about it is, that when the administration doesn't expel the person who raped me, my safety and my welfare doesn't amount to a hill of beans. If Harvard is so concerned with their name, then why do they have a student...
Indeed, within the car industry, executives have taken to using the words car assembler and car developer in place of the old term carmaker. The evolution in language mirrors the development of Magna, whose success Frank Stronach couldn't even have begun to dream about in 1954, when, at age 22, he left his native Austria for Canada with $200 in his pocket and about the same number of English words in his vocabulary. Three years later he managed to start up a tool-and-die shop in a rented garage in downtown Toronto, and in 1960 he signed...

The actions taken by some economies to protect themselves from the vagaries of gigantic short-term capital flows swinging wildly on the basis of the herd instinct would seem to be a case in point...
...funeral. The adrenaline was gone, and the friends dispersed. His wife, welded to his side through most of the bitter fight against Starr, was pointedly absent in its Rose Garden aftermath. Her refusal to shut the door on a run for the Senate in New York could almost be taken as an announcement that she is open to a de facto separation, a psychological divorce. Bruce Lindsey, the President's constant companion and consigliere, was missing Friday as well, having gone off to have lunch with fellow aides Greg Craig and Cheryl Mills rather than return for the President...
