Staff Paranoid

It must have been the cook in the billiards room with the candlestick.

The staff has demonstrated some high quality paranoia in its position on the early action program, which can only be predicated upon the unsubstantiated claim that the admissions office has changed its overall demographic considerations--ethnic, racial, geographic, financial, etc.--while determining Harvard's undergraduate classes. If 5 percent of the class of 2002 is black come May, then we will have a problem.
