...need proof that Harvard's influence and reputation really does extend beyond the reaches of your wildest imagination, take the ferry to Martha's Vineyard this weekend (if you didn't make your automobile reservation in February, you'll have to go standby, but if you don't mind waiting until about 2 a.m., you'll get there). When you get off in Vineyard Haven, drive in the direction of Gay Head--up Island--until you get to Chilmark. Don't stop to look for a town, because there isn't one to look for. Just off the main road...
...investment bankers. If you want to see them in person, catch PBA's 7:10 a.m. flight from Edgartown to Boston any Monday morning and you'll see them being driven to the airport by their madras-clad sons or Lilly Pulitzer-clad wives. If you merely want proof of their existence, venture into the most obscure newspaper shop on the Vineyard and you'll discover they are well-stocked with copies of Barrons and The New York Times. Most stores even post a schedule on the front door of delivery and sold-out times so you'll be sure...

At a speech in Vladivostok, he pledged to withdraw six Soviet regiments, amounting to some 8,000 troops, from Afghanistan by the end of the year. He cited his offer as proof that Moscow is "striving to speed political settlement" in the torn country, which the Soviets invaded...
...fact, several better designs already exist, all of them much less susceptible to disaster than the conventional light-water reactors currently in use in the U.S. But according to M.I.T. Nuclear Engineer Lawrence Lidsky, a consultant on the NRC study, only one of these is truly disaster-proof: the modular high-temperature gas reactor, a prototype of which has already successfully been tested in West Germany. If anything goes wrong, says Lidsky, the MHTGR simply cools down, without releasing any radiation. "It eliminates the accident of greatest concern," agrees Alan Crane, senior associate at the Office of Technology Assessment...
