Swearer is both modest and cautious about Brown's success so far: "You have to give credit to a large number of people." But his chief financial aide, Senior Vice President Richard Ramsden, believes that management programs have helped steer Brown out of trouble. "We wanted Brown to be known as one of the best-managed institutions of higher education in the U.S." Broad faculty, and even student, support was enlisted for these programs.

The savings: more than $100,000 in the past couple of years. Up-to-date information on alumni is also in computer files.

Moreover no court has allowed a company's plea of economic hardship to excuse an antitrust violation-which was the basis for Ramsden's recommendation and presumably McLaren's change of view. The antitrust laws are designed to protect competitiveness in business, not to protect shareholders. The out-of-court settlement also cut off Supreme Court clarification of whether new laws are necessary to control conelomerates like...
