...order to enforce employer sanctions, the bill established a national worker identification card for all legal American workers. Such an I.D. system would lead to discrimination against anyone who looked foreign, particularly Chicanos, Puerto-Ricans, and other Hispanics. When Sen. Simpson addressed a group at the Kennedy School of Government in early March he claimed that employers must ask for identification of all prospective employees, without regard to national origin. The bill discriminates on both a class and racial basis. Sponsors virtually concede the bill's discriminatory nature by suggesting an employer review by the General Accounting Office...
...Nicaraguan fishing trawlers hit mines while entering the Atlantic port of El Bluff; the Sandinistas promptly issued a proclamation "to the world" blaming the U.S., and the CIA specifically. That statement was not widely noted either. But then mines began going off in the Pacific ports of Corinto and Puerto Sandino, damaging a Dutch cargo vessel, Panamanian, Japanese and Liberian freighters and, on March 20, a Soviet tanker.

If Harvard wants to become a truly desegregated, multi-racial institution, each of its components--from administration to course offerings--must incorporate perspectives other than those of white males...
...Phillies' quarters at Clearwater, Roberto Clemente Jr., 18, is among the fledglings starting out in gray T shirts without numbers, just names stenciled on the back. There seem to be thousands of them. Clemente's shirt says BAMBI "because that's my nickname in Puerto Rico," he says, "and because I want to have my own name." Not intending that to sound harsh, he quickly goes on, "I think of my father all the time, both the player and the man. They say I was six and don't remember him as a player...
