Persuasive Logic. Unlike many campus radicals, Magaziner is a first-generation collegian, the grandson of Russian immigrants and the son of an office manager in a tomato-processing plant. He had no sooner arrived at Brown from Lawrence (N.Y.) High School than he began shaking up the university. As a freshman, he persuaded the university administration to abolish the unpopular food-contract system, which forced his classmates to pay an annual rate covering all meals. As a sophomore, he organized a seminar to study curriculum reform. It was so successful that he was paid $800 from the dean...

The interviews, which are conducted by trained Scientologists, sound like a cross between psychoanalysis and an encounter with a Zen master...
...editor of the Sun, a national daily, she can be a rugged infighter. In her former position as Minister of Transport, she pushed through legislation empowering police to give "Breathalyser" tests to drunken-driving suspects. That enraged British pub owners, who introduced "the bloody Barbara," a drink consisting of tomato juice and tonic-but no alcohol...
