...money in the bank and a lot of options. Maybe she'll take a trip. The Harvard Business School has accepted her for next year and given her $7000, but she couldn't go to school and train at the same time. So maybe she'll defer admission--if she keeps rowing...
...members and community residents have for a long time opposed construction of the Kennedy museum in Cambridge but endorsed the location of the archives here. President Bok, however, steadfastly refused to criticize (or for that matter say anything about) the desirability of the tourist-drawing museum, preferring instead to defer all criticism to the Kennedy Library Corp.

Indeed, it has been able to remain in business only by selling $40 million worth of its $250 million total assets and persuading banks to defer for up to three years interest and amortization payments on $90 million in outstanding loans. To add to Chisso's troubles, another of its plants was partially destroyed by an explosion in 1973. Company officials last year quietly asked the Japanese government's development bank for a low-interest $13 million loan to repair...
...Henry Jackson and Edward Kennedy had sponsored a Senate resolution to postpone the tariff increase for 60 days; in the meantime Congress, if it has the will, would be able to draft its own energy-saving program. In the House, Pennsylvania Democrat William Green offered a similar motion to defer the hike for 90 days, which the House Ways and Means Committee promptly voted, linking the deferral to an increase in the federal debt limit to $531 billion...
