...they will find that the tribe has been generous. Or if not, they'll forget about it." Tureen's comment is an apt summary. After the issue is resolved, Gay Head will most likely slide back into anonymity. The Indians will be a little richer, the whites a little poorer, and perhaps justice--in some compromised sense--will have been done...
Expanding Bureaucracy. The largest chunk of the money is still spent on training and terrorist operations; last week a Palestinian bomb went off near Tel Aviv, killing one person and wounding 26. One of the smaller and poorer fedayeen groups, the Popular Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, took credit for the incident. But an increasing percentage of the revenues pay for a rapidly expanding bureaucracy. The P.L.O. has opened offices-in effect, quasi embassies-in about 100 nations. Heads of the larger offices in Europe and North America receive around $1,500 a month along with "representation" allowances...

...entrance to the second catacomb is hidden behind a mass of shrubbery on the Villa Torlonia, a 13-acre estate in the center of Rome that was once the residence of Mussolini. Slippery, moss-covered steps lead into an airy passageway lined with crude burial slots -probably designed for poorer Jews -about 1 ft. deep, 2 ft. wide and varying in length for children and adults.

Reads one: "Here lies Pe-gaianos, the scribe and lover of the Law." Both catacombs...
Senior admissions officer David Evans, who was assistant director of admissions during the 1972 Mass Hall incident, says a study he did at that time of the economic backgrounds of the occupying students showed that most were not among the poorer black students at Harvard. He says that 25 of the 31 undergraduates involved were receiving financial aid, while about 70 per cent of all blacks at the College were also on aid at the time. The median family income of the financial aid students who occupied Mass Hall was $17,000, as opposed to $11,000 for all black...
