...Like the Harvard Corporation, the Radcliffe Board of Trustees is a financially independent, self-perpetuating group of people charged with the care of the institution it takes its name from. But where the Corporation is "the oldest ruling oligarchy in America," in the words of one Radcliffe administrator, the Trustees are a more diverse group with a higher public profile and a better public image...
...fabulously skinny body certainly doesn't look appropriate. Who has ever seen or heard an anorexic Joan Sutherland or Beverly Sills? Clayburgh careens about the screen, wildly overacting. Trying so damn hard, Clayburgh becomes positively painful to watch. Matthew Barry reveals some vestiges of talent but when delivering lines like "I must go; she awaits me", it's virtually impossible to appear anything but absurd...

Harvard's investments in banks and businesses which are involved in South Africa amount to almost $300 million...

Producers like protectionism because it is a form of government support which interferes least in their affairs. Workers in declining industries like it because it saves their jobs. The government likes it because it is a form of assistance that requires little expenditure. But the only groups protectionism does hurt are consumers...
