...with all but two of the task forces reporting, Rosovsky's words seem much more like hollow promises than a serious preview of things to come. Without exception, the task force reports released so far have either been disappointing or have been turned into disappointments by the Faculty committee process. A breakdown of the results of these task forces shows how disheartening the review has become...
...Young had held private talks with Mozambican President Samora Machel and other African leaders.

He tires rapidly and is usually taken home by midafternoon. Burger has become solicitous of Douglas' welfare, attending small social events staged by Douglas and his fourth wife, Cathy, 33, and sending over gifts of vintage wine and tasty apricot and orange jam put up by Burger himself...
