one is two and two is swimmin' so three is runnin'?

Hmmmm. I think I know why you aren't on the payroll. Once more:

One is wimmin, two or more is swimmin, and none is wishin. I am a past master at wishin, although I have greatly enjoyed swimmin.

Hang tough, amigo. These 90's are troublesome times.

From the NY Times website:

Supreme Court Eases Burden for Employees
Claiming Sexual Harassment

The Supreme Court Friday made employers easier targets for lawsuits by employees whose supervisors sexually harass them. The court's new guidelines for such employer liability came in a pair of 7-2 rulings of enormous importance for America's workplaces. While upholding the liability of the emlployer, the court added that the employer has a defense stemming from the ''reasonableness'' of its conduct and that of the victim.

To succeed in such a defense, employers would have to show they ''exercised reasonable care to prevent or correct promptly any sexually harassing behavior'' and that ''the employee unreasonably failed to take advantage of any preventive or corrective opportunities provided by the employer or to avoid harm otherwise,'' the court said.

Bottom line is that the employer does not need to know that harassment is taking place to be found liable. The fact that harassment (may have) occured is sufficient cause to award for the plaintiff.
