Although Dudley seemed healthy only a few years ago, the situation soon changed. The introduction of the University's present-day, need-based financial aid system brought dorm life within reach of all undergraduates, and sky-rocketing Cambridge real estate values made finding a livable appartment a very difficult task. Furthermore, a new social atmosphere that encouraged students to stay in houses on campus for the "Harvard experience." Not surprisingly, the number of Dudley affiliates began to shrink. By the early 1980s, enrollment had dropped to approximately...
...experience in foreign policy matters exceeds any of his rivals. With only one exception, the candidates' positions on contra aid are the same, but only Gephardt has led the fight against it. And he won eight out of nine times. The Democratic party has long recognized that backing the rebels, even covertly, defies America's democratic principles.

Each year the President must "certify" whether drug-trafficking countries have made progress. Those that are "decertified" lose U.S. aid, trade preferences and other economic benefits. There is particular pressure in Congress to punish Panama and Mexico. This week President Reagan is expected to decertify Panama. Mexico, however, will probably receive only warnings and be exempted from economic sanctions on the ground that greater punishment might tend to destabilize it and thus...
