...Chilean press has more than covered the allegations surrounding the Letelier case. They have even suggested the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was in collusion with DINA--an organization started by the head of the ruling Chilean junta, Gen. Augusto Pinochet. Moffitt draws a parallel between the Chilean coverage of this investigation and the American press coverage of Watergate; he says that Pinochet's enemies are using this scandal to force him out of office, in the same way Americans said that Nixon couldn't govern the country amidst the Watergate revelations. He adds that an official in the State Department...
...autistic after her rape by drunken Nazis; in a procession of the retarded and aged, she is gassed at the euthanasia center at Hadamar. A younger son, Rudi, joins Jewish partisans fighting in the Ukraine; he survives to depart for Palestine after the war-the rebirth of European Jewry. Parallel runs the story of Erik Dorf, a prissily murderous family man and SS officer around whom nearly all the horrific deeds of genocide have been densely crowded. In these characters Green embodies the story of history's most evil episode...
Among other recent freelance porn offerings, Rome's station PTS (for People Television Service) put on a special called Nude on Parallel Bars, featuring a nearly naked girl giving a passable imitation of Olympic Star Nadia Comaneci.

Zampano's solution is not without parallel. In 1976 Allied Chemical was fined $13.2 million for polluting the James River; after the sum was reduced to $5 million by the federal judge who assessed the fine, the company contributed $8 million to set up the Virginia Environmental Endowment. But the Olin case raises some questions about the proper exercise of judicial discretion. Had the judge merely fined Olin for violating the anti-apartheid arms ban, the $510,000 would have wound up in the federal treasury. Do the people of New Haven have any more right to the money...
...what seems to be a strange parallel to the 1972 events, this year's demonstrations and interest in South Africa prompted Bok to send one of his current assistants to investigate South Africa firsthand. Lawrence F. Stevens '65, secretary of the ACSR, traveled for three weeks n South Africa and will report his findings to the Corporation's investment subcommittee, which was set up simultaneously with the ACSR and which makes final investment decisions with the advice of the ACSR. In 1972 students were calling for divestiture of stock in Gulf because it and other U.S. corporations were helping...
