...basis it matters very little to undergraduates who owns the buildings they reside in; the technicality of ownership places no burdens or restraints upon them. But the purely physical elements have already played and will continue to play a significant background role in the re-evaluation of the Harvard-Radcliffe relationship. Harvard can not help feeling attracted to Radcliffe's property and all the rest of its $57,461,341 in total assets. Radcliffe, on the other hand, is cautiously trying to impress upon Harvard that her assets include some things in which Harvard has little interest--but nonetheless...

"In reality," he says, "you could get one of the park policemen to stand in the dugout and wave pitchers in and out of the ball game." Recently, he seemed ready to fire...
...affiliated papers and TV stations run 10% to 15% higher than those demanded when papers and stations are competing for dollars. The trustbusters say that their plan would encourage more independent news coverage; they also believe it could eliminate a "subtle pressure on editors and reporters" in single-ownership situations "that may be nothing more sinister than an awareness by ambitious press and broadcast journalists that the road to promotion does not lie with antagonizing the publisher or owner...
