...pudgy Roldós, a professor of law and former member of congress, promised that he would be "the force of change." Not a fiery speaker, his methodical rhetoric came across well on television broadcasts that played an important role in the campaign. Though married to Bucaram's niece, he distanced himself from his radical mentor by scrapping the slogan he used last summer: ROLDÓS IN OFFICE, BUCARAM IN POWER.

He delivered it at a symposium held at Upjohn Co.'s Brook Lodge in Michigan. A member of the audience passed a copy of the speech to Dr. Franz Joseph Ingelfinger, then the editor of the New England Journal of Medicine. Ingelfinger had already roiled the academic waters by warning potential contributors that medical research should be made compatible with good, clear writing. The graceful, straightforward style...
...curious to see how it comes out." William B. Swislow '79, a Southern Africa Solidarity Committee member, said last night. "I'm not too sure on the question of the MIT Corporation's legal accountability about its policy. But it would be great if that kind of legal pressure brought results," he added...
