...bottom line is the reason for only looking at white coaches, the BCA is right in focusing on economic, not moral persuasion. For one thing, moral persuasion is not very foolproof.

To go after a college, any college, you’ve got to aim right for the pocketbook...

Ginny was in charge of the present buying, but George usually made a token purchase of his own. One Christmas he surprised Ginny with an electric pencil sharpener. "They were always so clearly the wrong thing, but it was just so funny that he'd taken the time and thought to buy them," says Hilary, who one year received a stuffed dolphin with...
