An extreme case of University intimidation is that of Sylvia Gallagher, a worker in the College Dining Hall who left Eliot House last Monday to inform Adams House workers of the walkout. Gallagher has apparently been threatened with punishment by the University for her role in the walkout; she was also briefly shown, but denied a copy of a letter outlining her alleged actions in the walkout...

The uppermost of the maps shows the continents as they are thought to have existed 225 million years ago, when Africa and South America were joined. The middle map is a picture...
...conspiracy to circumvent Environmental Protection Agency regulations. Life Science and its two owners, Virgil Hundtofte and William Moore Jr., were charged with 153 counts of polluting the river. The town of Hopewell was named in three counts for discharging Kepone through its sewage-treatment plant and for failing to inform the EPA. If convicted on all counts, Life Science, Hundtofte and Moore could be fined some $3.8 million, the city of Hopewell $3.9 million and Allied Chemical $17 million...
