Professor of the History of Science Everett I. Mendelsohn--one of the most outspoken faculty members in favor of divestment, the Rev. Hogan Yancy--a resident fellow at the Divinity School, and Chris Nteta--a Divinity School graduate who participated in the 1971 student protests--spoke at Harvard's rally yesterday...
South African novelist Alan Paton, an outspoken liberal critic of apartheid, once declared: "I am full of joy to realize that I never had anything to do with any divestment campaign."

Daniel Ortega is often called shy, soft-spoken, retiring: "the reluctant ruler." Not Murillo. The First Lady maintains the kind of profile that goes with $300 glasses.

"The French must understand," Chirac declared, "that the moment has come...
...move is certain to please Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile, who has been an outspoken critic of the revolutionary approach. But it does not answer other concerns of the military, which doubts the wisdom of Aquino's well- publicized scheme to declare a six-month cease-fire with the Communist insurgents. Indeed, late last week Enrile set back Aquino's plans when he ordered troops to hunt down the insurgents who killed a town mayor and 15 others in the northern province of Cagayan. Declared Enrile: "We cannot allow innocent civilians and our soldiers to be butchered...
