Confusion has reigned within Radcliffe and without since the "non-merger merger" agreement of 1977 with Harvard turned over the responsibility of educating undergraduate women to Harvard. Radcliffe is supposed to participate actively in the formation of policies affecting women and to serve as a strong advocate for women in a University community that has a history of sluggishness in providing an education for women...
...known for months. The deal still has to be approved by Pan Am and National shareholders, the Civil Aeronautics Board and President Carter. CAB Chairman Alfred Kahn fears that his policy of less regulation and more competition among airlines may be spurring a lot of panic mergers that would lead to less rather than more competition.

The two strong leaders might have trouble working together. But that may not turn into a problem, for Maytag seems ready to get out of the airline business and return to Colorado Springs, where he grew up. National's ups and downs over the years, its labor problems (six strikes since 1964) and the trend toward deregulation and merger all have taken their toll of Maytag's enthusiasm...
