...fact, a technician attached to the commercial section. And at least one important detail in the Times story may be wrong: Bulgarian émigrés living in Paris insist that Mantarov defected on April 11, 1981, not the following July.

In 1979, Harvard abandoned its commitment to voting for progressive shareholder resolutions, reaching the correct conclusion that no resolution opposed by management would be likely to pass. Instead of taking the more effective step of divesting its holdings, however, Harvard has been content to keep its shares in South African operations and let management run the show...
