...presence of women on campus is not the only change in Harvard that Pusey has witnessed in his lifetime. Although the University decided to employ police in the 1960s to curtail protests, the present administration has seemed loath to take similar measures in the face of protest...
...works, but few have ever acted on them so explicitly. Central to understanding the Seattle Opera's Ring is the notion that Wagner and Wotan are cognates, and that just as the composer uses leitmotivs, or musical symbols, to weave and bind his sprawling tapestry, so should Wotan employ theatrical symbols -- props -- to underscore the unity of the world he has created. The universe of the Ring is an illusion, a necromancer's house of cards, that must finally come crashing down...
...only one of a growing number of middlemen in the airline industry. Like GPA, which is privately held, most are obscure. International Lease Finance (1985 sales: $81.2 million), for example, was begun in 1973 by three Hungarian immigrants who now employ ten staffers in a Beverly Hills office suite.

In 1980 only four of Boeing's 316 orders were placed by leasing companies; during the first half of 1986, their share skyrocketed to 109 out of 247. Overall, more than $10 billion worth of aircraft will...

Vive la difference...

Most middle-class families employ at least one live-in maid, and, with monthly wages running around $60, many have a cook or gardener as well. The thought of doing without household help seems to panic the whites almost as much as the slogan "One Man, One Vote." The young wife of a lawyer in Johannesburg, who is also the mother of two small children...
