These conversations contain some of the controversial assurances to Arab leaders that contradict official U.S. policy toward the Middle East. In one quoted talk, Ford told Egyptian president Anwar Sadat that the U.S. supports a return to pre-1967 war borders in the disputed Israeli-occupied territories...
...Washington board. Despite what they claim is overwhelming sentiment in favor of a Med area union on the part of area employees, and despite a NLRB ruling on a case involving clerical and technical workers at Columbia University's off-campus research facilities--which seems in many respects to contradict the January ruling on the District 65 case by NLRB regional director Joseph Fuchs--organizers feel the chances that the Washington board will accept the case are increasingly dim.

Donald Fleming was more candid than many of his colleagues when he wondered aloud how students could ever have expected that exciting things would transpire during their appointments with professors (Crimson, Spring, 1975). For the sad fact is that, while teaching and learning in a humane community ought to be an encounter...
