...that statistic alone should provide an impetus for action. Given that admissions committee members believe uncertainty over financial aid was one factor discouraging accepted minorities from coming here, the University should remember that preserving aid-blind admissions and maintaining diversity are but two sides of the same coin, the latter goal unattainable without the former. Harvard should also take a hard look at just why the Black drop-off occurred, examining in particular some students' allegations that an inhospitable racial climate caused the shift...

Only a few other countries in the world might have Exocets to sell. Among them: Iraq, Pakistan, South Africa and Peru. The latter has already offered Argentina military support.

Prior to that, he had perceived no inherent contradiction between his liberal weekend politics and his working week mainstream economics. Only latter, he says, did he recognize that the implicit ideology behind the latter was untenable with the former. He had dedicated himself to developmental economics for its challenge. "We had been taught, and we believed, there were no economic problems in the United States and similar countries. The economic problem here...
