...Foundation brought Dr. Hooks to Harvard for a very private, invitation-only dinner attended by fewer than twenty undergraduates. Surely Dr. Counter who planned the festivities must have realized that a very large number of students, minority and majority, would have liked to have had the opportunity to hear Dr. Hooks speak. Since Dr. Hooks could only spend a few hours on campus, one may wonder if race relations might have been more improved if he had addressed a large group of students in Science Center B as opposed to a small group of administrators and Boston dignitaries in Lehman...
...session. By her own testimony she was literal- minded and scalded by self-criticism. She was puzzled that Suzanne Farrell broke all the rules and still remained Balanchine's favorite.

Warned Colombian President Belisario Betancur: "We hear the far-off thunder of violent drums. We feel the winds of storms." Despite such rhetoric, most of the debtors chose negotiation over confrontation. Mexico persuaded the banks to stretch out its payments on $48 billion in loans, originally due between now and 1990, over 14 years at reduced interest rates...
