...Harvard, where 15 of the University's 37 Iranian students will be required to leave by the fall, officials, despite their quiet words, have lobbied against the order. President Bok, for example recently joined Tufts' president Jean Mayer in signing a letter to Secretary of State Edmund S. Muskie which calls for repealing the INS policy.

"Kaiserslautern used to be sin city back in the 1950s," says Marie Mayer, a West German community relations adviser for the U.S. Air Force. "There was a lot of drinking and fighting by single G.I.s, who were in the majority back then. Now, with more people married, the military is much better behaved."
