...almost no chance that the measure will fail. The opposition Labor Party leader, Shimon Peres, has already indicated that he will support the treaty, even though by voting against it he might be able to topple Begin's government.

However, in the ten years since 1968 the multinationals have not fared nearly so well. Many investors now prefer to invest in other stocks, or in real estate, government bonds, etc. It is far from clear that a carefully thoughout investment strategy motivated by non-investment in apartheid would reduce Harvard's income at all, let alone by the amounts Harvard cites...
