...cigarette makers, Gallaher (leading brands: Senior Service and Kensitas) and Carreras (Guards and Rothmans), had already expressed their willingness to accept a coupon ban, even without legislation. Their cooperation was understandable, since their sales-especially of coupon brands-have lagged behind those of industry-leading Imperial Tobacco Co., whose two coupon brands, Player's No. 6 and Embassy, have captured 43% of British cigarette sales. For its part, Imperial insisted that the coupon promotions, while successful in brand competition among those who already smoke, do little to lure nonsmokers to the fold.

...last Wednesday that imprisoned a Dow Chemical Corp. recruiter in a Malinckrodt conference room for seven hours was, according to President Pusey, a clear violation of the "freedom of expression or movement of others."

...dawned on the demonstrators that it was cruel and pointless to harrass Leavitt. When one shouted amidst a volley of questions, "Don't badger him," the mood of the protesters literally shifted instantaneously to one of warmth and sympathy. Someone offered Leavitt a Harvard lunch bag, which he would accept only after it had been pushed at him several times. That ended a very distinct phase in the demonstration--the vent your Vietnam venom on Leavitt stage. Leavitt had personally proved to be a lousy symbol of the war machine...
