"Today, the heads of all major international organizations, including James Wolfensohn at the World Bank and Horst Kohler at the International Monetary Fund, face more difficult challenges than confront most Presidents, prime ministers and CEOs of multinationals. They can easily be overwhelmed by the political pressures acting on them before achieving much that the world will note. Who, after all, can name any of their immediate predecessors?"
-- Jeffrey E. Garten, dean of the Yale School of Management, in his article "Can the WTOs New Leader Make It a Force For Change?" Business Week, Oct. 7, 2002.
§
"We encourage [Yale medical students] to get involved in a community-based activity in the third year. They can do it individually or as a team. Of course, we hope that some of them will stay in New Haven and continue to serve the children of New Haven."
-- Dr. Brian Forsyth, associate professor of pediatrics, "Yale Med Students Go Into Community," New Haven Register, Oct. 6, 2002.
§
"In the last eight terms, the [Supreme Court] has invoked free-speech principles to invalidate actions of other branches of government in no fewer than 25 cases. Yet it bars television cameras and radio microphones from its own public oral arguments. Transcripts of the dialogue between lawyers and the justices are not posted on the court's Web site until weeks later. Spectators in the gallery may not even take notes about what is being said in open court."
-- Akhil Reed Amar, Southmayd Professor of Law, in his op-ed essay "The Supreme Court's Unfree Speech," The New York Times, Oct. 5, 2002.
§
"The problem with broadband is there simply aren't any good killer applications. If the industry wants to make [residential high-speed Internet access] happen, guess what? You need to offer content."
-- Barry Nalebuff, Milton Steinbach Professor of Management, "Only Time, Or Killer App, Can Save Telecom, Experts Tell FCC," The Dallas Morning News, Oct. 8, 2002.
§
"It is distressing that black students must continually confront discrimination in and out of the classroom, even from those to whom they might desire to turn as role models."
-- Guillermo Irizarry, assistant professor of Spanish & Portuguese and American studies, and Anne Lambright of Trinity College, Hartford, in their letter to the editor "If Black College Students Do Poorly, There's Plenty of Blame to Go Around," The Chronicle of Higher Education, Oct. 11, 2002.
§
"Architecture is like a mythical fantastic. It has to be experienced. It can't be described. We can draw it up and we can make models of it, but it can only be experienced as a complete whole."
-- Maya Lin, fellow of the Yale Corporation, "Imagining A Memorial," Time, Sept. 30, 2002.
§
"It legalizes a problem that is fundamentally moral in character. In that sense (reparations) are profoundly demoralizing."
-- Peter H. Schuck, Simeon E. Baldwin Professor of Law, about the issue of reparations for descendants of slaves, "Slavery's Legacy Can't Be Paid Off," New Haven Register, Sept. 29, 2002.
§
"If the criteria to be on an advisory committee [at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration] are based on a political litmus test, that will set this country back."
-- Dr. David Kessler, dean of the School of Medicine, "Mixing Theology, Science," The Times Union (Albany, N.Y.), Oct. 9, 2002.
