...perhaps the best example of the philosophical debate over the Coop's direction. Textbooks, almost everyone who knows about the Coop agrees, are simply not profitable for the store. With an extensive search service, liberal return policy, and relatively low mark-up, the Coop annually faces a break-even prospect at best in the field. Yet at the same time, students are looking themselves at an increasingly tight financial squeeze, and overall textbook prices are not insignificant, running most Harvard students upwards of $300 a year. Molyneux says flatly the Coop should use profits from other departments--clothes for example...
...Administration has a program for follow-up moves to build momentum. Secretary of State Shultz, who did more to shape the new policy than anyone else, will confer with Arab and Israeli leaders on the prospect for autonomy negotiations while they attend the United Nations General Assembly session that convenes in New York City late this month.

Bell, a convicted spy who sold military secrets to a Polish agent, described the approach to a congressional committee in May. Said he: "Within the avionics industry, it is a common practice for all companies to obtain secrets of their...
...custom, the State Department retaliated for the ouster. Last week it barred re-entry to the U.S. by Melor Sturua, the vacationing chief Washington correspondent for the Soviet newspaper Izvestiya. In theory Sturua could return if the Soviets reinstate Nagorski's credentials, but that prospect is considered unlikely. Indeed, Newsweek has already reassigned Nagorski to Rome...
