With Skytrain in the air, transatlantic passengers have a choice of fares ranging all the way from Laker's $236 to $1,312 first class (see box). Gripes one British travel agent: "What we need each morning is a sort of situation-room briefing that would detail just what fares we can and can't sell that...

Moreover, he maintains, crime prevention can be built in to many University buildings, in the form of modern lighting and alarm systems. But such systems should be the work of experts, he says; Harvard only wastes money by trying to design its own systems...
