...status of ROTC is especially important for MIT because a new federal law would prevent schools which do not allow ROTC programs from receiving funds from the U.S. military. The Department of Defense is currently MIT's third largest contributor, donating $56 million dollars per year, according to an MIT spokesperson...
GARRY TRUDEAU is so successful as a cartoonist--Doonesbury, his definitive evocation of the baby-boomer zeitgeist, appears in 1,200 U.S. newspapers and has won a Pulitzer Prize--that he may be neglected as a writer.

Twin City's main link to the Clintons was Margaret Davenport, an executive vice president, a close friend of Hillary's and a generous Clinton campaign contributor. Margaret was the bank's principal line of communications to the Governor, through Hillary, and Penick had been relying on Davenport to press the branch-banking issue in her periodic lunches with the state's first lady. Davenport had got to know Hillary when she first came to town in the late 1970s; they were among the few professional women in Little Rock at the time. As Governor, Clinton appointed...
