...raising the price for a Harvard education, the Corporation pointed out that the increase is no more than the average national increase in disposable personal income, that it will not deter potential applicants from coming to Cambridge, and that it will allow the Faculty of Arts and Sciences to keep up with double-digit inflation. Although the Faculty registered a small surplus of $167,000 for the 1979-80 academic year (its fourth in a row), it anticipates a deficit of $785,000 for the just-ending year. And because tuition is one of the most malleable parts...
...presidential elections, run with the support of both Socialists and Communists, was the beginning of his rise to power in the left. In 1971 he became head of the Socialist Party, and the following year masterminded the five-year Socialist-Communist Common Program. The reverses he experienced did not deter him, even when he ran for the second time for the presidency in 1974 and lost to Giscard by a mere 424,599 votes.

Declared Weinberger: "We cannot deter that effort from 7.000 miles away. We have to be there in a credible way." That seemed to echo the so-called Carter Doctrine, in which the previous Administration proclaimed that the U.S. would meet any challenge in the vital oil-producing region. The difference was that Reagan hopes...
...disorder and challenge have proved to be a spur; shaken confidence has turned into action. The Saudis have launched a three-pronged campaign, as one Western official put it, "to draw their wagons in a circle." In defense, to deter any attack against their oilfields, they have been trying to strengthen their inadequate armed forces with the best military hardware money can buy. In diplomacy, the Saudis have been trying to reduce their nearly exclusive dependence on the U.S. with an incipient gulf federation, a more active leadership role in the Arab world, and broadened new ties in Western Europe...
