...pattern of dying has become almost routine. After 21 days of no food, strikers are moved, past cheering cellmates, to continue their fast in the nearby prison hospital, a modern, one-story building where they are locked into individual rooms. Here they regain the status of prisoners who conform to regulations, and they are allowed to have visitors for one half-hour each day. The trays of food are always there. Radios are in each room and the strikers listen for special songs played for them by name by a sympathetic local station. But the men are even more interested...
...nuclear facilities, whether U.S.-supplied or not, as a condition on buying more atomic material from America. The same act vetoed the transfer of U.S. exports to a third country without prior U.S. approval, and tried to force client countries to rewrite their previous nuclear agreements with Washington to conform to the new and tougher standards. But the Carter plan had only limited success.

(After that, they will reapportion their own state legislatures.) The decennial battle, always a partisan struggle, is especially heated this year: a total of 17 seats must be transferred from ten states in the Northeast and Midwest to eleven states in the West and the South. Those losing seats are New York...
...questions began to come to light last summer, Bok consulted with several Faculty members individually and organized an ad hoc committee to mull over the issue. "This was very much in the context of thinking. 'Let's see how we can work this out in a manner that will conform with academic values and benefit the University,'" Bok says now, recalling that professors who got wind of the proposal and came to him in opposition to it "weren't mad--they were just concerned." By the time the school year began, it had become evident that academic issues were pressing...
