...with $2.5 million which funds the 3800-acre Harvard Black Rock Forest in Cornwall, N.Y. Under a proposed sale agreement released last month. Harvard would sell the site--which was donated to the University by Dr. Ernest G. Stillman '08 in 1950--for $400,000 to a consortium of about 12 non-profit it educational and recreational institutions. In a fit of generosity, the University would offer the consortium a one-time donation of $50,000 once the deal is cut. But Harvard would end up walking away with $2.8 million while abandoning any obligation to cover the forest...
Though it lacks San Francisco's flare for protest, Dallas nonetheless will inspire its share of political sideshows. Activities are planned by gays, nuclear-freeze activists, union members and Moral Majority missionaries. The most elaborate demonstrations will begin the Saturday before the convention, when a consortium of organizations led by ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) kicks off a three-day Alliance for Justice in 1984 program.

When French President François Mitterrand visited San Francisco in March, he chose to stay in the $1,500-a-day presidential suite of the Hotel Meridien because it is owned by a French consortium. Walter Mondale had other reasons for picking the same digs as his headquarters during the Democratic Convention, starting with its location one block from Moscone Center. By contrast, the other two Democratic presidential candidates will be staying a traffic-clogged half-mile away on Union Square - Gary Hart at the venerable Westin St. Francis and Jesse Jackson at the high-rise Hyatt...
...Harvard-based Program on Negotiation--headed by Williston Professor of Law Roger Fisher is a university consortium designed to advance the theory and practice of conflict resolution. Members of the group have been at the forefront on developing the new negotiating technique, which has been put to its first real test over the past year in nearby Malden, a crowded, working class industrial city of 53,000 generally skeptical of Ivy League planning...
