Undergraduates must join in electing an ACSR representative who will take a progressive stand on the social questions Harvard confronts on shareholding issues. But the voices of one or two progressive advocates on the ACSR is not enough. Undergraduates must elect a representative who will work for the complete reorganization of the structure and operations of the ACSR, so that the committee can start to become a powerful, representative voice for the Harvard community on important social issues...
...Cairo and Samuel Lewis in Jerusalem, began to tinker with a new formula for a pre-Geneva "preparatory conference"-comprising Israel, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, the U.S. and the Soviets, if Moscow wished-that would keep a comprehensive multilateral Geneva conference going until Syria and the Palestinians decided to join. Meanwhile, the Eilts-Lewis cables were relayed to U.S. Ambassador Richard Murphy in Damascus; Murphy was instructed to use them to convince Assad that Sadat did not sell out the Arab side in Jerusalem.

Since 1916, U.S. members of shipping conferences have been exempt from antitrust laws, but Justice...
...Delmore never stopped trying. Through the chaos of his life, trailing from one rented room to the next, he made desperate resolutions: "To get up at eight o'clock-and to take vitamins, join a gym, buy new clothes, answer mail." Occasionally there was rebirth, as with his poem about the disciples, "Starlight like Intuition Pierced the Twelve"-Schwartz always could write titles. But below the labels the quality was diminishing...
