...company has already strolled through four Harvard Houses--South Currier, Lowell and Eliot--and plans to cover two to four more before quitting for the season. Reactions have varied greatly among the Houses, although the audiences have generally seemed pleased (who's going to complain about forty-five minutes of free entertainment".) South House had the biggest turn-out--100 to 125 people--and the audience laughed uproariously through the whole play. Currier House was much more sedate--people didn't laugh much during the play, but made polite, intellectual comments afterwards--and at Lowell House the audience wouldn...

When it comes to speaking about a U.S. firm's competition, Soviet traders are anything but shy. In fact, some U.S. businessmen complain that they have been invited to discuss a deal to help provide leverage against, say, a Japanese company from which the Soviets are trying to get more favorable terms. Generally, price is only one of several factors that the Soviets consider; they are also interested in the latest technology, the quality of equipment, start-up costs and the amount of personnel training provided. American companies that have Japanese subsidiaries or partners are especially favored; the Soviets...
