Although the size of the sums of money Radcliffe manages may look insignificant next to Harvard's billion-and-a-half, it is Radcliffe's finances that ensure its independence. Under the terms of the 1977 Agreement between Presidents Bok and Horner, Radcliffe pays Harvard 100 per cent of its tuition income in return for the education Harvard gives undergraduate women. "Harvard is in effect our service bureau," says Burton I. Wolfman, administrative dean of Radcliffe. Effectively without any tuition income, Radcliffe relies on endowment income and government grants to support its activities...
...match-up that would make a Harvard-Alabama game look even, Brown should have no trouble disposing of Pennsylvania today. A first-year club team, the Quakers have yet to win a game this season, and nothing short of a miracle will change that fact...
...obnoxious, teen-aged son (Matthew Barry) and a pathetic, ancient husband who's efficiently knocked off in the opening sequence. Dad dead, it's off to sunny Italy for Caterina and Joey.

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...
However, the proposed South African scholarship program is more than just another gesture. No one should take seriously the ideas that black South Africans will be brought to Harvard for a disinterested education. One needs only to look into the other areas of endeavor by Harvard to find the real purpose of the scholarship program. In the September 14 edition of the Harvard Gazette, President Bok refers to Harvard's educational mission in the Third World mentioning the schools of management organized by the Business School in countries such as Marcos's Philippines and the Shah's Iran.
