Walter, 49, the former chairman and ceo of R.R. Donnelley & Sons in Chicago, joins AT&T this week. Relatively unknown, he has been thrust into the spotlight and asked to supercharge a company at the opposite end of the communications spectrum.

Boschwitz, the German-born founder of Plywood Minnesota, faces a rematch with the unknown who unseated him in 1990 by 1% of the vote.

While the number of cases of "date rape" are unknown, based on national statistics it undoubtedly occurs here. The Harvard administration does not make available records on the number of rapes and sexual assaults--because it does not keep such records. We ought to demand that this information be kept, and be accessible to students and parents. The Dean...
