...educating a student at Harvard is only partially offset by the tuition it receives, even from those students who do not qualify for financial aid. In fact, student tuition and fees constituted less than 33 percent of the revenue Harvard received in 1988. The remaining 66 percent came from interest earned on the endowment (17.2%), private gifts (19.7%) and government and institutional grants (30.9%).

Until then he had rationalized that the stolen interest payments to PASOK were simply the political cost of doing business in Greece...

Meanwhile, industry giants IBM and Digital Equipment were trying to rev up interest in their latest models. All these competitors are trying to knock off Sun Microsystems, the clear leader in the workstation business. Launched only in 1982, the Mountain View, Calif., firm has become a billion-dollar company on the strength of the new machines...
