...vigorously opposed the implementation of the test, which registers physical reactions under artifical stress, during the contract negotiations last fall. HPA negotiators faulted the test for its rigidity: the patrolmen argued that the test exaggerates every small physical problem, and might be used as an excuse for disqualifying basically fit patrolmen from active duty. Harvard included the test in the contract but agreed to delay implementation until July 1979. Chafin says, however, that it will not be implemented...
...unenviable position of a captive audience at the funeral of Harvad's dissipated system of General Education.

Until then the class of '82 will have to meet the non-concentration requirements of the Gen Ed program, while at the same time many of those very courses are being...
Nonetheless, the transition from Gen Ed to Core involves a careful study of which courses might fit the detailed guidlines the Faculty has prescribed for Core courses.

Offering no evidence, Ray implied that Raoul may have been working with...
...week state visit by the Chinese leader to Rumania, Yugoslavia and Iran, not only constituted a brazen Chinese tweak at the Russian bear but heralded the beginning of an extraordinary new era of personalized Chinese diplomacy following more than a decade of isolationism, if not hostile xenophobia. Looking fit in an elegantly tailored tunic, Hua, 57, obviously enjoyed every minute of the affair. As well he might. Aside from a brief visit to North Korea last spring, this was his first trip to a foreign country and -for a Chinese party chairman-the first-ever foreign journey farther afield than...
