This Monday, the Harvard Corporation will consider two unprecedented recommendations from a University advisory committee: that Harvard take anti-management stands in supporting one shareholder resolution prohibiting a company's compliance with the Arab boycott, and another limiting Gulf Oil Corporation's ability to make illegal political payoffs overseas...
...several months, Sadat has been busily building up his position as the Arab world's primary peacemaker. He has told dozens of visiting U.S. Congressmen: "I am not preparing for war, I am preoccupied with peace." With the support of the Saudis, he healed a rift with Syria's President Hafez Assad that had been caused by the Syrian incursion into Lebanon last May.

Along the way Dern, who had broken down trying to make the transition from North Vietnamese prison camp to civilian status in the U.S., gets to do some nice psychopathic bits. Shaw has some weary and aging hunter routines on which to flex his thespian muscles...
