...fairly well. It gives me a lot of freedom." Critics do not deny that limited improvements may indeed occur, but they point out that they are at best temporary, and that the cornea will eventually spring back to its old shape. They also worry that the treatment, especially in the hands of less skilled practitioners, can cause permanent astigmatism and other eye damage. Says Ophthalmologist G. Peter Halberg, a specialist in contact lenses at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan: "Properly presented and investigated, orthokeratology could be acceptable some time in the future. There...
...first it seems like an obscene idea: a network mini-series about the Nazis' extermination of 6 million Jews. American television has a tendency to trivialize almost everything it touches, and, of all important subjects, the Holocaust should be immune to such treatment. But about an hour into Part 1 of Holocaust's four installments, it is clear that this NBC Big Event is far from the same network's Loose Change or King-or just about any other TV movie.

It might even lessen the press's own complacent tolerance of so much of the jostling and hectoring behavior that, when seen on television, the public finds so objectionable...
...Rican male. Are these ratios supposed to be a quantitative measure of discrimination? Furthermore, religious minorities such as Jews and Catholics, and gay men and women, have been completely excluded from the privileged class of the oppressed. There is certainly just as much and perhaps more evidence of unfair treatment of these groups at Harvard than the ones arbitrarily selected by the authors of this constitution. And what about the handicapped students and other groups whose special interests are often ignored by the majority? Is it just those minorities big enough to "count" that get this special status of double...
