...enclosed report helps document our recent activities toward that end. We recognize that Harvard cannot claim with certainty that its efforts have "caused" the improvement made by various of our portfolio companies to comply with the ethical standards we have supported. But our voice has been clearly heard and presumably played a part. The one divestment earlier represents a failure in our efforts at persuasion but reinforces our stated commitment to abandon situations where we see no hope of bringing about positive improvements. Through these efforts as a shareholder and as an educational institution, we will continue to do what...
...their own importance. Gromyko will often call a meeting of his three or four ranking assistants and, if he is in a bad mood, vilify them as "dolts" or "schoolboys" who are "not fit to work in the Foreign Ministry." A report with a few minor errors or a document submitted late can touch off one of these explosions, though it usually passes quickly...

Indeed, there is some doubt as to whether one or more of the services could even be induced to return, should Harvard make such an unlikely request. High cost, a large number of ROTC units in the Boston area, and the memory...
...highlighted during last year's elections, which some opposition parties participated in and others boycotted. The most comprehensive unity plan was signed last month by nine of the eleven major opposition leaders. Two pivotal figures, Assembly Member Eva Estrada Kalaw and former Senator Salvador Laurel, refused to sign the document, which outlined a platform and a nominating procedure in case of Marcos' sudden demise. Kalaw, leader of one wing of the Liberal Party (Salonga heads the other wing), objected to the "undemocratic process" by which the presidential nominees would be chosen. Laurel, president of the opposition umbrella group UNIDO (United...
