...alternative detoxification treatment. He adds that he is still weighing a lawsuit against the National Computer Information Center, but has taken no serious action thus far. In the meantime, Humes keeps a close eye on the daily papers for information on drug shipments and fluetuations in the gold market. Humes draws a correlation between them based on the contention that most large-scale purchases of heroin are made with gold.

Thus, Harvard must take a firm stand in favor of proposed amendments to the bill that would exempt tenured college faculty from the 70-year minimum mandatory retirement age. University-level academics are among those jobholders who can be expected to continue to work if the unamended bill is approved. And, as Graduate School Dean Edward L. Keenan...
