Using this system, one of Bennetts' eight researchers appealed to the Kresge Foundation, headquartered in Troy, Michigan, and won. Barbara J. Getz, program officer at Kresge, says the foundation decided to grant the University $1,250,000 to help fund the second building of the K-School because "Harvard obviously is old and venerable; it will survive the dilemmas of the '80s." The University was one of 208 receipients from a pool of 1359 that met the Kresge Foundation's standards, particularly its insistence on the donee's fiscal stability.

...campaign officers will begin attempting to convince Harvard alumni--all 57,000 of them--that Harvard needs at least $200 million from them to meet Getz's expectation. To that end, a creeping network of alumni groups (the list reads like a list of hamburger variations: major gifts committee, class campaign committees, steering committees, area special gifts workers, area class agents, area steering committees) will conduct scores of dinners, movie-showing sessions and telephone campaigns to personalize the appeal as fully as possible.

Based on his experience with 10,000 other sitcoms, the viewer thinks that the good guy will win and expects them to play off one another for the rest of the series. But Brooks has Mr. Good not only lose the job, but also quit the firm -and leave...
...young associates (Martin Short, Alley Mills, John Getz) must choose between ambition and conscience. As one of them jokes, should he "make a nun crack under crossexamination" to serve a big client? The Associates is not afraid to address the ethical issues, light and serious, that confront the legal profession. This show is only afraid of being unfunny or cheap - and, of that, it apparently need have no fear...
