...number of debts have become critical, and the magazine's trustees have had to bail it out on several occasions. Last April, an audit by the I. R. S. led to repeated (and unfounded) rumors that the Advocate would fold. Although the audit was actually prompted by a technical mix-up of the magazine's tax-exempt status, the prevalence of these rumors illustrate another equally acute problem that the Advocate staff has had to deal with recently: a general loss of readership and respect in the Harvard undergraduate community...

The bumbling Scotland Yard detective soon appears...
...make other symbolic concessions while maintaining its present administrative control. Noted a British diplomat: "This would replace the fiction that Hong Kong is part of Britain with the fiction that it is part of China." That is as good an idea as any. Indeed, with that characteristic Hong Kong mix of greed and imagination, vendors are already selling T shirts emblazoned with the message "2096 OK" next to a crossed...
