Students had been denied the retroactive credit at first, even though the new Core version uses two of the same principal texts of the Music Department's offering. The courses were so similar, in fact, that students who had taken Jazz I were not allowed to take the new Core version...
With the firm beset by squabbles over strategy and slumping morale, chief executive Peter Buchanan decided that it needed shoring up. After six months of negotiations, First Boston agreed last week to be taken over in a $1.1 billion merger with its European affiliate, Financiere Credit Suisse-First Boston. The new investment firm, which will be privately held, will be controlled by Credit Suisse, the giant Zurich-based banking company...
...month. In New York City last week, local officials joined with a community-development group to finance the construction of 1,000 apartments for low-income families; $25 million of the $80 million cost was raised from corporations, which can write off their contributions as a federal tax credit.

Instead of deciding the Patterson suit on its own merits, the court voted last April to schedule a rehearing of Runyon itself. If the court reverses its earlier stand, it could deprive blacks of what has become a significant weapon against bias by employers or private schools. It will also undo a decision that has provided a basis for subsequent federal law and more than 100 lower-court rulings...
