...HISTORY of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle, or so Marx said, and Harvard is not immune to these titanic forces. Usually hidden, but at times painfully exposed, the struggle between the two great factions, the upper class and the freshman class, is part of Harvard life. Separation of the classes and the resulting misunderstanding only make the struggle worse...
...American leaders had accepted. The Foreign Minister was defending himself against opposition charges that he had knuckled under to Washington's pressure by tacitly accepting a Palestine Liberation Organization presence at Geneva. As proof to the contrary, he read out an official text of the hitherto secret agreement. Dayan's disclosures about his conversa tions with Carter and Vance indicated that the U.S.-Israeli relationship was still badly strained.

Harper & Row ran off 225,000 hardback copies and put up $100,000 as an initial advertising budget. The Literary Guild made the book its main selection for June, relegating Erich Segal's Oliver's Story, a dead-certain moneymaker, to second place. Avon Books shelled out $1.9 million for paperback reprint rights, topping the record $1.85 million that Bantam Books paid for E.L. Doctorow's Ragtime two years...
