...shifting almost by the hour, Washington kept the Sixth Fleet in the eastern Mediterranean. The aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy and six other warships were ordered to leave the port of Haifa in Israel after a six-day call, and resumed sea patrol. Meanwhile, anxiety deepened further over the fate of Anglican Envoy Terry Waite, who vanished last month while seeking freedom for the American captives...
...help answer the questions of our fate as citizens of a great republic and watchers of "Laverne and Shirley," Dewitt highly recommends Salvador (Somerville Theater).

Previously, the fate of accused students rested exclusively in the hands of their Senior Tutor or Senior Adviser, who alone presented the student's case before the Board. The Senior Tutor served as both prosecution and defense, so the fairness of the procedure--and consequently the outcome of one's hearing--depended largely upon the sympathy and skill of one's Senior Tutor.
