...principal aim of the University's house sale is to make a tenure offer more enticing to a prospective faculty member. This is all part of Harvard's overall attempt to make attractive fringe benefits available to counteract the increasing number of tenure rejections it receives. However, small wood frame houses cannot be considered major incentives to incoming faculty. Most professors prefer to live in Watertown or Newton already and have no desire to move their families to Cambridge. If anything, the only incentive is to purchase these rundown structures, perform expensive reconstructions, and resell them a few years later...
William LeFevre, a vice president of Purcell, Graham, thinks that the Dow may crack 1400 before the bull market is over.

Inability to agree on a desired level of military expenditures has already | delayed Senate Republican Leader Robert Dole's attempt to frame an alternative budget.

Sometimes in the name of making a woman less of a sex object, but the alternative clothes and silhouettes have almost always been masculine. Broad shouldered jackets, business suits, ties, women's briefs; all were taken from the classical men's look...
With his tall and portly frame, his gleaming bald head and jovial, Buddha- like countenance, James Beard was central casting's dream of a food writer come true. Almost until his death last week of a heart attack following a kidney infection, Beard, 81, remained a monumental and genial presence in New York City food markets and restaurants, where his passion for good eating invariably proved contagious. Displaying a grand flair for showmanship refined by early training for the stage, he created dramatic settings for his cooking classes, for his writing and entertaining, and for his superb collection of majolica...
