Surprisingly, given the relative sizes of the two Crays, some experts voice more concern about the future of Cray Research than they do about Cray Computer. Few doubt that the smaller spin-off firm will be able to raise all the money it needs. As John Sell, president of the Minnesota Supercomputer Center, puts it, "Seymour is magic in this business." Whether Cray Research can flourish without its founding genius remains to be seen. Analysts say that within three to five years it should be clear whether the company has wisely cut its losses or created a killer competitor...
Many in the audience remained unimpressed. One stockholder, Ed Rothschild, president of the Citizen-Labor Energy Coalition, called on Rawl to resign. "The answer is no," came the chairman's quick reply. He also rebuffed several shareholders who suggested that he donate some of his own money -- his salary in 1988 was $1.4 million -- to the cleanup effort...
...time when money is desperately needed for crumbling roads and declining schools, the fastest-growing sector of state spending is prison construction. Legislatures across the country are considering outlays of $10 billion over the next six years. In 1983 Texas spent $288 million on prison construction and operation. By last year the figure was $500 million. Yet the system is still so crowded that Texas has already closed its prison doors to new inmates six times this year. "Corrections used to be a trivial amount of a state's budget," says Barry Krisberg, president of the National Council on Crime...
...prejudice through which the student population must view us. It seems pitiful that in one of the world's most "enlightened" institutions, the administration sees fit to malign and degrade people in a manner more suitable to the Dark Ages. However, as organizations devoting their time, energy and money to help others, the position of the Harvard administration concerns us little. Considering that this is an institution that barred admission to Blacks for hundreds of years, has shown only a cosmetic interest in community service and demonstrates a constant lack of concern for the Black community both here and beyond...
...result, as well as those who cannot afford to attend Harvard at all due to our present policies, that I co-sponsored a resolution calling for the return of ROTC to campus. I would never, however, suggest that all ROTC students are economically disadvantaged, nor that the money is the primary motive of most who participate in the program. To do so would be factually wrong and would ignore the idealism and dedication that mark these students, who are prepared to give their lives in defense of our country...
