...Prince Charles did so last week on his first visit to New York for a gala benefit in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Royal Ballet. With Lady Diana Spencer, 19, back in London preparing for the royal wedding on July 29, it was the last official jaunt to the U.S. as a bonnie bachelor for Prince Charles, 32. But it was not without problems. Never far away during his 24-hour stay were shouting throngs of I.R.A. sympathizers. A small army of 1,700 New York City police and 300 State Department and Secret Service men protected...

A group of concerned students have organized as an alternative slate to the Coop stockholders' recommendations for the positions, which have too long been the highly-sought after tokens for resume-stuffers on their jaunt to business school. They are, in alphabetical order, Amy Banse, Jeff Brown, Meri Kane, Anita Landecker, Guy Molyneux, Jerome Rubin, Nancy Sinkoff, Indi Talwani and Rick Valelly. The members of the slate deserve support in what could be the first geniune effort to restore the Coop's original mission...
...that you're all geared up, don't let rumors of unreasonable airfares deter you. A round trip to England costs only a few dollars more than a jaunt to Chicago and back. But to take advantage of bargain prices, you must go when the airline says you can. Most cheap flights are standby; you get bumped when they fill up a flight with regular paying customers...
