...Year Development Program for raising $10 million is "almost precisely on schedule," Jordan revealed. He also noted that the Alumnae Association's recent decision to merge the efforts of the Alumnae Fund and the Development Fund for the next three years will be "extremely important" in further solicitation...
...rose from $200 million to $1.5 billion. Corruption ranged all the way from army sergeants who stole chickens to Batista himself, who shared with his cronies a 30% kickback on public-works contracts. Potbellied Chief of Staff Francisco Tabernilla and his family made off with the entire army retirement fund of $40 million.

But the prestige of state support, which MeBAC would give to the Cambridge Drama Festival, would surely hamper the fund-raising and actor-recruiting programs so vital to organizations like Group 20 in competition with the CDF. And financial records show that competition between two repertory theatres in the Boston area means a loss for both...
