...information that appeared in the January 16th story "Plan to Restore Yard Pump Progresses." The page one story said that Radcliffe President Matina S. Horner "forgot to check with the Cambridge Historical Commission" before presenting Harvard President Derek Bok with a plan to restore the pump as a 350th birthday gift to the college. In fact, Radcliffe officials have been in continuous contact with the Cambridge Historical Commision since last August when a preliminary design was presented to members during an informal meeting.

Fantastic parties are a Khashoggi signature. Christmas was a simple tea compared with his 50th-birthday fete in 1985, at which he entertained more than 400 guests at a three-day extravaganza.

The complex and convincing portrait drawn by David Garrow, associate professor of political science at New York...
...Sympathies can be divided, the infant cannot. Solomon's threatened sword will no longer bring a simple answer. Deciding her fate will require all of Judge Sorkow's compassion, sense and ability to appraise clearly the issues involved. In March the baby will have her first birthday, almost certainly before she has her last name. It is unconscionable, unacceptable for her, but the questions her case raises are painful and daunting. When the opportunities that technology provides bring dilemmas in their wake, technology rarely provides answers to them. In the end, only people bear children. People will have to bear...
