MacGregor's clinching argument is a runty border collie with one white eye named Rob Roy. As a cluster of prospective customers watch, MacGregor launches Rob Roy at five skittish Cheviots standing at the far end of a corral 300 yds. long. Using skills his ancestors employed to cut weak animals out of the flock, Rob Roy takes off like a shot, slows to a crawl, inches up to the Cheviots and fixes their apparent leader with a mesmeric stare. As MacGregor yells directions ("way to me, way to me,") meaning circle to the right, Rob Roy nudges...
...policy has been generally well received among those it is meant to encourage. "There's no doubt the Carter Administration has changed American strategy in a very welcome way," says one prominent Polish intellectual. "Before Carter, almost all contacts were government-to-government and always with an eye to Moscow.

Harvard's real estate business has a dual nature. The University tries to balance "landbanking" with its efforts to earn revenue, or at least break even, from the rest of its holdings. When Harvard landbanks, it buys property with an eye to razing it, creating a site for construction of new University facilities. Such property is usually permitted to run down, because there's no sense in paying steep maintenance costs if the building will eventually be torn down. Landbanking can potentially turn an owner into a slumlord; the building is only secondary to the property value...
