...condoned. In the early 3 stages of the Falklands crisis, Washington's support for London consisted largely of providing some intelligence information and fuel supplies for the British armada at Ascension Island, the closest British staging area to the Falklands. That help has now been extended to cover a broad range of war goods, such as Sidewinder missiles, which the British could use to replace those fired by the task force Harrier jump jets, and Stinger portable antiaircraft missiles in U.S. Army supply depots in West Germany...

"We wanted Brown to be known as one of the best-managed institutions of higher education in the U.S." Broad faculty, and even student, support was enlisted for these programs. When Swearer in 1978 embarked upon a $158 million capital fund drive, instead of asking the faculty where it could cut back, he asked where it would add if it had more money. The result: highly motivated faculty members started defining...
