First, and most important, the comparisons made between Ivy League tuition and fee rates are somewhat inaccurate. The data you quote under the heading "tuition" are not simply tuition rates. Rather, these data are what colleges call the package cost, i.e., University health fees are not treated consistently in your comparisons. For example, the 1988-89 rates reported for Yale and Dartmouth do not include required health fees. Had required health fees been included for all institutions, your table would show Harvard's cost as lower than that for either Yale or Dartmouth...
...University alleviates the parking problem somewhat for students by allowing students to park--for an annual fee--in Harvard-owned lots at the Business School, in covered parking in Peabody Terrace or on Soldiers Field Road...
...pronunciation is tricky. So are the provenance and political implication of the scarf on sale from sidewalk vendors all over the East Coast. Say ka- fee-a, and the sound will be right. Wear the large, brightly checked square of cotton around the neck, shawl style over the shoulders or wrapped around the head, and the look will be perfect 1988 American street style. It is also what millions of Americans see on their TV screens practically every night, worn by Palestinians defying Israeli soldiers in the occupied territories...
...return, Whittle is asking doctors to pay an annual fee, probably between $100 and $200. It is not at all clear that doctors are interested. One large publishing company has begun sampling the profession, and is so far finding minimal interest in Whittle's scheme. As for the advertisers, they are being offered a large captive audience and a pledge of exclusivity: all six magazines will feature only a single brand in any product category. That would relieve an advertising problem known as clutter, when ads for competing products jostle one another for attention in the same publication...
...give local workers high marks for their ability to handle complex engineering and piloting tasks. But under Noriega many high-level operational posts have been filled by inept cronies. The result has been mismanagement of the railway and poor road maintenance. Panama has imposed a dubious "lights and buoy" fee on ships approaching the canal, although the treaty prohibits such charges. At the rate of 1.25 cents a ton, the levy could raise as much as $2.5 million a year. But the penny-wise move could have pound-foolish results. In retaliation, Washington has threatened to revoke a fee exemption...
