A Legacy in Peril at the World Bank- April 28, 2007 As the U.S. representative on the World Bank's board of executive directors, I formally nominated Alden Winship ("Tom") Clausen in 1980 to be the bank's sixth president.

From Clinton, Hip-Hop Hypocrisy- April 21, 2007 Put me in the camp of those who implore Sen. Hillary Clinton to give it back -- "it" being the reported $800,000 that's sitting in her presidential campaign coffers thanks to a fundraiser hosted in her honor March 31 in the Pinecrest, Fla., home of a huge Clinton fan who refers to himself as Timbaland.http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/~r/wp-dyn/rss/linkset/2005/03/24/LI2005032401680_xml/~3/24... Standing Up to Imus- April 14, 2007 This week I walked into the auditorium of Francis Junior High School, where in May 1954 our principal announced at a hastily called afternoon assembly that the Supreme Court had just abolished segregation in public schools. That decision struck down legally sanctioned discrimination, but as the Don Imus episode reminds us more than 50 years later, the disease of discrimination is hardly a thing of the past.http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/~r/wp-dyn/rss/linkset/2005/03/24/LI2005032401680_xml/~3/24... A World of Sorrow, a World Away- April 7, 2007 The disconnect between the school governance drama and a community of children in pain could not be wider.http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/~r/wp-dyn/rss/linkset/2005/03/24/LI2005032401680_xml/~3/24... |
