...reality, there will be much less change [in the K-School] than people think about because there's a huge range of people to draw from," said Olivia A. Golden '76, a lecturer in public policy who worked on the Dukakis gubernatorial campaign. "This [the Kennedy School] is not a primary source of advice for Dukakis...
...least impersonal of cities. Understatement has no place here. Rather, this is a brawny, rough-and-tumble, rollicking place, animated by the earthy good humor of its Chaucerian folk. Hurly-burly impromptu is the way of Seoul. Round-faced women set up huge speakers on busy street corners, then sit beside them, crooning along to organ music as they entertain themselves.

...placing more stress than needed on his ankles. Other times there is apparent tech-cess: the $1 million flume built by the U.S.O.C. to study swimming has been used by only a handful of athletes since it became operational in May.

In Gibson's deal the Bank Board agreed to provide $1.3 billion in guarantees and other assistance that will allow the investors a decade to return their newly merged S and Ls to financial health...
...complaint casts the Beverly Hills-based Milken as the mastermind of a secret, bicoastal arrangement with Ivan Boesky, the Manhattan financier now serving a three-year prison term for insider trading. From 1984 until late 1986, according to the Government, Boesky secretly bought and sold huge blocks of stock at Drexel's behest to push forward the firm's takeover deals and to reap millions of dollars in illicit profits. Five others were charged as participants in Drexel's schemes: Milken's younger brother Lowell, an attorney who works in the company's junk-bond department; Cary Maultasch and Pamela...
