...Yes, I did joke that the H in Stanley H. Kaplan stands for preparation. No, I never dreamed that this aside would constitute the sum and substance of my response to the survey, as reported by Mr. David P. Greene. In the interest of fair play on a genuinely important issue, I hope you'll allow me to review for your readers the three major points I raised during the interview...
...Bernie? Yes, Bernie, as in Bernard Shaw, the Cable News Network's principal Washington anchor and the newest member of TV news's most exclusive fraternity. Although hardly a new face (at 47, he has logged 24 years in the business, the past eight anchoring at CNN), Shaw has come to personify CNN's transformation from the "Chicken Noodle Network" to a respected competitor of ABC, CBS and NBC.

People with some joint damage fare better when they engage in regular moderate exercise, such as walking or swimming...

We all know about the paucity of women professors; that male students dominate section discussions; that many women have become anorexic and bulemic in an attempt to fit the model set by, yes, that Budweiser ad. It is easy to shrug these things off because all of us are elites of one sort or another and because, of course, "guys we know" are good people...
