Some athletes show capitalist cunning in making the most of the bonus system. Roland Matthes, world record holder in the 100-meter and 200-meter backstroke, has a habit of setting new records by small margins.

Frank Wiegand, former world record holder for the 400-meter freestyle, used to get a bonus of 100 marks ($31?"every 'time he"set a personal record with his army sports club.

Investigating them all is a detective called Truscott...
...DEMANDING that Harvard divest itself of its Gulf Oil stock, the Pan African Liberation Committee (PALC) is asking the bourgeois moralist to look the bourgeois property holder straight in the eye. Harvard's hesitating, half-hearted response attests that even men of presumed good will are discomforted by the question of how much the university will pay for a good conscience. Yet to call attention to the dilemma mirrored in the slogan "shareholder-democracy" is not to foreclose debate about Harvard's investment policy. Between here and the land of final contradictions there is a great measure of human misery...
