...companies doing business in Cambodia. Sir, forgive me, it takes a high sense of personal drama for a person to look on the receipt of stock proxy as an inescapable moral intanglement. Such a person with such a fluttery heart should stay in bed at day and leave his mail in the mailbox. He should certainly stay away from Harvard Square, where he will be accosted by every kind of moral and material beggar...
...Minister stated in his budget speech to the Parliament that foreign controlled South African enterprises will in the future only be allowed to transfer profits to foreign countries out of profits earned in the preceding two years.

Warner Records sent me a postcard (they must have only one picture since they...
They came seeking help, rushing past surprised Soviet guards and bursting into the U.S. embassy in Moscow last June 27. The seven Soviet citizens are now holed up as unwelcome guests in a 20-ft. by 12-ft. basement room (plus kitchen and bath). They are permitted no mail through diplomatic channels, cannot meet with reporters in the embassy building, and live in relative isolation. But they are adequately fed, at U.S. expense. Sympathizers have sent them books, and even a game of Russian Scrabble...
