Donal Logue '88 explains his roommate Tarver's modesty in terms of his local--as opposed to global--outlook. Tarver's identity has emerged simultaneously from three disparate cultures: the Boston underground music scene, his home town of San Antonio, Texas, and Harvard. Tarver's fascination with local communities appears in both his musical and academic interests. In the past few years, he has participated in the Boston music community's search for alternative forms of expression; and last year he observed and documented the struggle of a group of San Antonio parents fighting for their children's right...
Tarver's exposure to music began early, during his childhood in San Antonio, Texas. Coming from a long line of artists--his mother is a painter, and his father is a former artist who serves on the boards of several museums in the San Antonio area, Clay was encouraged to take up singing, violin and cello as a child. In high school he abandoned music for basketball, became MVP of the San Antonio area and played on one of the top All-State Texas teams. He returned to music, and the guitar, when he discovered alternative music in Boston...

Does anyone deliver bad news with a more mournful mien than Secretary of State George Shultz? Last week, as President Reagan headed off to Moscow, his dispirited Secretary of State announced the collapse of U.S. efforts to force the resignation of General Manuel Antonio Noriega, Panama's pugnacious strongman. Shultz had delayed his own departure for the summit, believing that Noriega was about to yield. Instead, at the eleventh hour the general rejected the U.S. terms, which included a controversial offer to drop federal drug- running charges against him. With that, Shultz broke off talks and denounced Noriega...
...Such close monitoring can cut both ways for a journalist in the field. CNN's Latin-American correspondent Lucia Newman was taunted by a mob opposed to Panamanian Strongman Manuel Antonio Noriega after she was seen smiling during a televised interview with the general. But when ousted President Eric Arturo Delvalle granted an interview to a U.S. network, he chose CNN because of its high profile in Panama. Ultimately, Newman's reporting offended Noriega, and she was expelled from the country...
