...wherever it wishes. In the case of South Africa today, or even in the case of U.S. policy toward that country today, Harvard simply is not that important. But if Harvard cannot have a "policy" on South Africa, that does not release it from the obligation to register an "opinion" on the matter. If we decide to remain involved in South Africa, whether through "intensive dialogue," proxy votes, or any other means, we are registering an opinion that we at least partially condone the apartheid system. If we divest, we will not, as the so-called pragmatists will undoubtedly charge...

All real efforts to limit nuclear weapons began with a ban on tests --just recall the 1963 treaty that was a first major step in that direction. A complete end to nuclear tests would halt the nuclear arms race in the most dangerous area, that of qualitative improvement...

Those hurt by the Dalkon Shield can take some comfort in what has happened in the Manville case. Though the asbestos victims have already waited three years for compensation, the company's proposed $2.5 billion settlement is, in the opinion of some experts, probably more than the plaintiffs could have won by pursuing their suits individually. Under the plan, Manville shareholders would bear the brunt of the cost. They would have to put at least 50% and perhaps as much as 80% of their stock into a trust fund to settle the asbestos suits. Moreover, Manville has pledged that after...
