...HEIGHT of the most severe apartment shortage in recent times in Cambridge, Harvard has altered the market status of hundreds of cheap, rent-controlled apartments, making access to these apartments more difficult for Cambridge residents. This action contradicts a long-standing Harvard policy of allowing non-affiliated Cambridge residents equal access to apartments that Harvard removes from the market by purchasing...
...exclusion of Cambridge citizens from Harvard's supposed "open housing" may be the result of a bureaucratic bungle. When the University decided this summer to market the apartments through the Harvard Housing Office--which is open exclusively to Harvard affiliates for a certain time-period--maybe someone failed to realize this action would make the apartments inaccessible to Cambridge residents who are not connected with the University.

When U.S. companies first began moving into South Africa during the gold rush of the 1880s, they not only saw their market as the country's whites (now about 16% of the 28 million population) but they also employed whites almost exclusively.

Levi Strauss, the biggest U.S. blue jeans maker, showed a sales drop in its Jeans-wear Division in the second quarter, to $138 million from $173 million last year...
Among other things, Willie saw a chance to "create my own market" by bringing together Austin's country audience with the rock devotees and college crowd on its fringes. While his post-Nashville LPs began building a national following, he consolidated his local reputation by promoting a series of July 4th outdoor concerts featuring friends like Leon Russell and Kris Kristofferson-and, not incidentally, himself. "When I was in the encyclopedia business," Willie explains, "I learned that whatever you want to sell, first you've got to sell yourself...
