...Nobody wanted to see the Busch-Reisigner collection stored in the basement of the Fogg. That was properly understood by Derek [Bok]. The integrity of the gifts will be maintained," said Desmond G.

Some installments, more ambitiously, try to fashion an appreciation of the subject by combining biographical material with excerpts from his or her work. The results are uneven.

...defeat of the amendment means that the Irish Republic is one of only a handful of countries in the world where divorce is still illegal. Malta and the Philippines are others. The setback weakens FitzGerald's chances of re- election in 1987. Though the opposition Fianna Fail party remained neutral on the referendum, it made clear its opposition to the amendment. The Prime Minister's failure to legalize divorce could thus hasten his departure from power...
