...jobs for over 70 per cent of 76 Roxbury students desiring full-time or summer employment, a written project summary shows. "I'm proud of that," Grant said, adding that the development program is one of the Roxury/Harvard's major accomplishments. This year's career development program will also focus on teaching students how to write resumes and take interviews. The program hopes to expose students to different careers through presentations and site visits...
Last week the focus of this continuing winter sea drama shifted to Washington. There both Massachusetts Senators, Democrat Ted Kennedy and Republican Edward Brooke, sponsored legislation to deal with an environmental threat that Kennedy described as "absolutely devastating." The record seemed to support that view. The latest incidents, suggesting a kind of seaborne demolition derby, were a grim finale to what has turned out to be the worst year ever for tanker accidents.

Rabin was appointed caretaker Premier, and last week the Knesset formally voted a bill of dissolution and set the election for May 17. The vote, six months ahead of schedule, will almost certainly focus on domestic issues. It will also delay the resumption of serious Middle East peace talks, even though Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Syria's Hafez Assad have mounted a strong and serious diplomatic offensive to get Israel to the bargaining table...
