...EFFECT OF these essentially irrelevant comments, if HEW pays attention to them, would be to narrow the regulations' scope, and to pare down HEW's enforcement ability. Once again, then, whether Harvard's suggestions are valid depends on whether Harvard can be trusted to implement Title IX without close supervision. In a third group of comments, those which claim that the regulations "do not provide sufficient safeguards for women," Harvard seeks to show that it can be trusted, and that indeed it is in a position to give advice on the matter.

...proposal is a radical one in a church that flatly forbids remarriage to anyone who has previously had a valid Christian marriage.

Wilson merely pointed his finger back, recalling that he too had said things would get worse...
