...NIXON. When President Nixon helicoptered into retirement in 1974, he left behind a mountain of 42 million pages of White House documents and 880 tapes that might or might not answer the many riddles of Watergate. Though no law governed the ownership of such documents. Presidents from Washington to Johnson have considered their papers as personal property, and so Nixon's lawyers negotiated a deal with Arthur F. Sampson, a Nixon appointee still heading the General Services Administration. The Government was to ship Nixon's "presidential materials" to a warehouse near San Clemente, and Nixon could veto anyone...
...conglomerate of unions, insurance and pension plans, companies and even banks that controls nearly 25% of Israel's economic production. It also provides the party with a strong power base. Thus Labor and Likud are on a possible collision course: Begin has vowed to strip Histadrut of its ownership of factories and corporations. As jubilant Labor members saw it, the Histadrut vote proved that Begin's victory at the polls in May was an aberration rather than a trend. They predicted that Likud would be out of power again in less than the year during which Begin asked...

The current moped madness was touched off by new laws in 31 states that class the machines as bicycles or "motorized bicycles" instead of motorcycles.

...battle more attorneys on the other side. The Guinness Book of World Records gives its longevity award to a lawsuit that was filed in Poona, India, in 1205 and not settled until 1966.* In France, Attorney Jean d'Everlange vividly recalls the "Santoni affair," a controversy over the ownership of some...
Many students may not be pleased with the results of Harvard's proxy votes or with Harvard's continued ownership of stock in companies that do business in South Africa. The resolution of these issues, however, need not be accomplished through protest rallies and Mass. Hall takeovers, as Ratner implies. The ACSR was set up in 1972 for the very purpose of bringing student, faculty, and alumni views into the management of Harvard's portfolio. If students in recent years have failed to use the ACSR effectively, they have none but themselves to blame...
