Last week Ford gained some leverage from the Senate that he can use to help negotiate an easing of the crisis. The Senators voted to renew arms shipments to Turkey that were suspended in February because the Turks had used American-supplied weapons in their invasion. The vote was narrow-41 to 40-but White House aides said that they could have gained at least ten additional votes, if needed, from Senators who were reluctant to cast them for fear of offending constituents of Greek descent. In his meetings with Turkish Premier Siileyman Demirel, Ford will probably argue that only...
...isolation of Harvard's Vietnam vets is real. Marton, who lives in a single at Currier House, admits that "because I got all the piss and vinegar out of me. I'm more sedate than most around here, and have only a narrow circle of friends." Another undergraduate, John Derho '75, also 26 and also a veteran of combat in Vietnam, moved out of Adams House last year and went incommunicadeo.

...economists like Stephen A. Marglin '59 or other members of the Union of Radical Political Economists--for aiming at a historical perspective on economic systems.

That leaves the soul still full of grace? Better to wear Dutch cap or wad And after their debauching...
...Slive becomes moody, thumbing through racks of paintings in one of the Fogg's storage depots. Over twenty gun-metal grey, ceiling-high, metal-mesh racks line this long, narrow hall on the museum's second floor. They are hung with a "big slice of the cultural history of mankind," as Rosenfield says. And though resonant with a strenuous, discordant mixture of competing styles and periods, none of them can escape a certain loneliness, a quiet desperation when shoved back into their dark recess. Pulling out one rack then another, Slive runs through the depot, lingering over one canvas then...
