...failure of divestment to cause direct harm to apartheid is inextricably linked to its failure to make a truly effective symbolic statement. The symbolic value of divestiture would consist of a "headline splash" one time, and one time only. Furthermore, the absurd selectivity shown by divestiture advocates is truly appalling. If Harvard were to divest of all stock in companies which profit from profound "evil." It might be reduced to holding only domestically-chartered savings and loan stock. Everything from stock in companies which deal with the Soviet Union. Chile, EI Salvador, and Iran (among many others), or make nuclear...
...Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko four days later. The U.S. side in Vienna will be led by Richard W. Murphy, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs; the U.S.S.R. delegation will be headed by his equivalent in the Soviet Foreign Ministry, Vladimir Polyakov. These meetings consist primarily of dry recitations of each side's views on central issues. The U.S. agenda for the Middle East meeting, aside from the Arab-Israeli conflict, will probably include the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, the Iran-Iraq conflict and Libya's mischief making...

Reagan met on Friday with twelve Senate and 14 House leaders to press the case for doing so. In the Administration's view, talks on defensive weapons would in effect consist of a series of American lectures on the virtues of having "each side turn to greater reliance on defensive systems that don't threaten anyone," in the words of a senior Administration official. The White House also ruled out any thought of offering a moratorium on testing of antisatellite weapons...
...need only open the book's cover to become immersed in this early America. The two pages consist of a collage made from period New York Times clippings. Advertisements for 1912 roadsters, electrical engineer training courses endorsed by Thomas Edison, and a notice that Macy's Department Store will be moving to Herald Square accompany notice of a Washington Senators victory. Rube Marquard and Smokey Joe Wood no-hitters, and boxscores full of names like Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb and Fred Merkle. Indeed, Ritter introduces many players with excepts from Spalding's Base Ball Guide circa 1909, John J. McGraw...
