Straw's troubles emerged last June, when A. Richard Benedek, a private New York dealer, filed a complaint against Straw in the Superior Court of Essex County, Mass. The two had been doing business together since 1975, and everything had apparently gone smoothly.

Why should we forfeit out Constitutional rights? Because we are 'Moonies?' Why did they call blacks 'niggers?' It's the 1979 version of 'Invasion of the Body...
...about 75 people are in charge of making sure the non-Faculty positions run smoothly. To that end, the personnel representatives from each school meet twice a month to discuss University policy, recruitment strategies and to share tips, Wickenden says. "And there is a regular informal flow of complaint memos, bitches, whatever goes on throughout the different schools," Cantor says. To reduce confusion, the personnel office distributed a thick memo detailing all personnel rules to every department...
