...Conrad Harper’s candid and insightful counsel on a wide range of important matters has strongly benefited the University,” Summers said. “I am grateful to him, both personally and on Harvard’s behalf, for his devoted service and for the many contributions he has made to the work of the Corporation...
...DIED. JAMES STOCKDALE, 81, candid, self-deprecating U.S. Navy Vice Admiral who earned the Medal of Honor for his rare courage in Vietnam, and who later ran for Vice President beside Ross Perot; in Coronado, California. After leading the first U.S. air strike into North Vietnam in 1964, he was captured and imprisoned the following year at the infamous "Hanoi Hilton," where he was brutalized repeatedly over seven-and-a-half years and held in solitary confinement for four. Stockdale inspired fellow POWs, including the future Senator John McCain, with his motto "Unity Over Self" and his remarkable defiance...

The sincerity of his desire...
...statement was reasonably candid, but not completely so. Hart, one of those rare politicians who seem to be more powerful nationally than in their home state, did not acknowledge that he might have lost a bid for a third Senate term. Colorado has turned more conservative since Hart squeaked through to a Senate re-election in 1980 with just 50% of the vote. Polls have given him only a shaky lead over Congressman Ken Kramer, a likely Republican senatorial candidate. Even a victorious Senate run would be a financial drain on Hart, who still has to pay off $3.5 million...
