...uncle had just left you 1000 shares. As of yesterday's quotation you would be $25,250 richer. But if you told your financially cagey friends that you had quietly held onto your Gulf shares when they were selling theirs last year, all you would get is a Bronx cheer. For the last four years the stock has steadily declined from a high of about $49 per share to the current price, while paying about $1.50 in dividends. That means that even if Harvard's 671,187 shares of Gulf stock have appreciated dramatically since the undisclosed date when they...
...workouts in Mom's honor. Other times I ran them for the 1000 screaming girls at Wellesley, or for George McGovern, or for orange quarters.

"The whole attitude was condescending. We needed to gather in the ladies' room to cheer each other up and escape from the 'What's a nice girl like you doing in law school?' At the time, if you brought up sex discrimination, people laughed. Now the women rip those notes to 'Gentlemen' right off the bulletin boards...
...lopsided and disappointing setback for coach Don Gambril and his squad. Yale's dominance in the meet was clear-cut all afternoon as it took firsts in 10 of 13 events, and 1-2 sweeps in five of those races. The mounting score left the Crimson with little to cheer about...
