...harder to find, especially in the humanities, which have been hit hardest by the tight academic market. Hesford's case is far from unusual; many graduate students now spend several years applying unsuccessfully for jobs while they try to complete their dissertations. Take, for example, the case of Thomas Kaiser, a history graduate student who has applied in the last two years to 60 places-- "everywhere from major universities like Yale and Berkeley down to some rather small schools."

The terrorists demanded that four jailed comrades be released "alive and healthy" by 7 p.m. on Friday-or Egan, a retired Kaiser Industries executive, would be "executed." Both the U.S. embassy and Argentine Foreign Minister Alberto Vignes refused to negotiate with the kidnapers. Late Friday night, on a lonely dirt road outside Cordoba, Egan's body was found riddled with bullets and wrapped in a Montoneros flag...
