...order for the MCAD to be able to rule in the case, the quasi-governmental body must establish that it has jurisdiction, which is dependent on the clubs being found to be a significant part of Harvard life. After the formal break from the clubs, the University cut off their Centrex service, steam heat, police service, and most recently, made the Harvard-owned portion of the Fly Club Garden more accessible to non-club members. With the formal ties nearly all severed, Schkolnick's case may prove difficult...
Such defiant sentiments seem to be spreading among Nicaragua's citizens. Three weeks ago, the Sandinista leadership was heartened when Congress cut off new aid to the contras. But contra-Sandinista talks were suspended late last week with no agreement, and most Nicaraguans no longer believe the country is headed toward peace and prosperity. The Sandinistas may have won a political battle on Capitol Hill, but back home they risk losing the war for hearts, minds -- and bellies...
...however, he said he would stay | in at least until after his home state's primary on March 15. Behind the flip- flop was some arm twisting by Illinois supporters.

Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan groused about being left "high and dry" and hinted that Simon's Senate re-election chances might be hurt if he abandoned the race early...
...impressive effort. It sets a deficit target of $129.5 billion, less than the $146.7 billion gap expected for 1988 and far lower than the $176 billion shortfall projected for 1989 if Congress and the White House do not follow through on the agreement to raise revenues and cut spending. The amount of deficit reduction Reagan plans for 1989 is probably just right. Anything more might throw the economy into a recession...
...fast enough to close the deficit in the foreseeable future. Using figures from the Congressional Budget Office and assuming that GNP growth will average 2.5% over the next few years (a more realistic figure than Reagan's 3.2%), TIME estimates that if Congress takes no further action to cut spending or raise revenues, the deficit will still be $128 billion in 1992. That gap cannot be eliminated all at once, and the cuts should not be made mechanically or without regard to economic conditions. If a recession hits, the deficit is bound to balloon and the budget-balancing process will...
