...generate enough current to keep the batteries fully charged under heavy loads. To overcome lax workmanship on the production line, G.M.'s Buick Division not long ago outfitted torque wrenches with horns that sound off whenever workers fail to fasten nuts and bolts tightly enough. Quality control is becoming an increasingly big headache on Mondays and Fridays, when high absenteeism forces management to rely heavily on backup...
...businessmen have a keener sense of the economic winds than Meshulam Riklis. When the art of acquisition was new in the late 1950s and early 1960s, he was one of the canniest practitioners. In time, he parlayed nerve and some fancy forms of financing into control of a string of businesses in such diverse fields as retailing and men's wear, building products and theaters. Now that conglomerates are running into all sorts of head winds, Riklis' own interest seems to be veering from making mergers to simply managing his $2 billion annual sales complex...

Don't bother me with Harvard's relationship with Cambridge, or rent control, or Mather House, or Harvard's investments in South America. Don't bother me with the fact that no one's ever seen Pusey. After all, Columbia can't happen here. Harvard isn't run by businessmen but by academics. We're proud of that...
...military." As a conscientious objector, I disagree on the importance of the military, but I realize the president's view is closer to the majority than mine. However, I think it's disturbing that President Pusey is beginning to preserve "the University's freedom from outside interference or control" ("Information About Harvard") by equating the interests of Harvard with those of the government. The president of Harvard would do better by trying keep Harvard free, rather than cooperative with Washington: in relation to the ROTC issue, there is a definite conflict. Bob Reitherman...
