...most effective" course of action, as hundreds of students staged a silent protest outside the dining hall. Then, perhaps the inevitable: reading period took its natural toll, and widespread student activism took a back seat to exam-period blues. In that sense, the "new mood" theorists could claim a victory--but only a temporary one. Members of student anti-apartheid groups promise a new round of protest soon: perhaps at this year's Commencement activities, and certainly by the time next semester gets under...
Gibson elaborates on Harvard's opposition to the tax credits proposal, saying, "Tax credit money goes to the wrong people--38 per cent of the money will go to families with incomes over $30,000." Although tax credit supporters cite the administrative simplicity of the plan--taxpayers can claim the benefit by answering a few questions on their tax forms--Cottington says the Internal Revenue Service would have to develop a complex bureaucracy to monitor the program that will duplicate the functions of existing financial aid bureaucracies...

Such a commission, explained a French aide, could lure the Chinese into the arms debate for the first time...
Dantzic does not claim to be doing anything "terribly new. I'm taking an old idea and running with it," he says. As far back as 1844, Germany's Friedrich von Martens and his Panorama-Kamera took a 150°-angle photo of Paris on a curved daguerreotype plate. After the invention of flexible film, other cameras were designed to sweep the horizons. Dantzic's choice, the 50-lb.. Cirkut sits on a tripod and is rotated on a vertical axis by a clockwork mechanism, while its film is moved at the same speed past...
