Carter told his staffers to keep policy differences to themselves, another conflict occurred last week when State Department Soviet Expert Marshall Shulman predicted that the Soviet Union would not intervene to punish China. Said Shulman: "If [the war] remains essentially at roughly the same scale, it seems to us not likely that the Soviet Union will respond on the Sino-Soviet border." Others close to the President are less sanguine, worrying that the longer the Chinese-Vietnamese conflict goes on, the more likely some Russian action becomes...
...members of the Class of 1980 clearly failed in their efforts. The reason for their failure, however, lies not in any deficiency of the reformers, but in the nature of the CRR itself. It is an inherently repressive body designed by the Faculty to punish those who disagree with University policies and have enough courage to express their disagreement in a political demonstration.

By so doing, the Times of India editorialized last week, she would gain "concrete evidence that when it comes to dealing with political opponents, Janata...
Demographic and social changes reward cosmetics firms that stay on top of them, and punish those that do not. As birth rates drop and the postwar babies reach their 30s, the population is aging. That presents a difficult problem, alas, for cosmetics makers, who know only too well that any appeal to women who are "mature" or "experienced" (or whatever other euphemism might be dreamed up for older women) would be the kiss of death. One response that Bergerac has made is to retarget Revlon's lowest-priced line, Natural Wonder, once aimed specifically at teenagers, to reach women aged...
