...Airlines already flying DC-10s will not be deterred from buying more. Reason: switching to alternative models would cause a costly lack of common parts, service and training. Yet the DC-10's troubles could cause new buyers to steer away from the plane and thus delay its break-even. Worse still, in the highly unlikely event of a permanent grounding, McDonnell Douglas would not only be sued by airlines that have paid a total of about $10 billion for DC-10s but would also have to write off the plane's $574 million of unrecovered development costs...
...Apostle Paul, who in Ephesians 4:5-6 called on first-generation church congregations to overcome their internal divisions. In doing so, he enunciated an ecumenical policy of broad social import. Vatican analysts had already expected that this Pope from the East might seek to heal the 11th century break with the Eastern Orthodox churches more ardently than to mend the 16th century split-off of Protestantism.

But the ACSR shrinks from even this tame action. Instead, Harvard will adopt a reactive stance with regard to shareholder resolutions, voting on those introduced by others, but refusing to initiate its own. On April 3 the ACSR voted to support a resolution calling on the Timkin Corporation to withdraw from South Africa because it had not provided the University with enough information to judge...
