There are other examples of Bok's essentially defensive posture in his letter. When he strongly reaffirms his support for Afro-American studies, he feels compelled to make "clear that we regard this effort not as a questionable field of study nor as a political concession..." words directed at those who harbor doubts about its validity as a discipline or the justification for its existence. Dean Rosovsky, after all, has described the birth of Afro-Am as "an academic Munich." Perhaps it is just an honest omission, but nowhere does Bok assert a commitment to the Afro-Am Department...
...increasing cost of education (tuition and board have more than doubled in ten years, but that is no greater than the inflation rate for the same period) and the shrinking disposable income of the American family. During this period, colleges have tried to accept students without regard to their ability to pay. Thus Bates' own scholarship fund, from private donations, has also increased, from $254,000 in 1970 to $ 1.4 million this year...
...firm consensus about Soviet motives In attempting to compromise Holbrook, or pretending to attempt to compromise him. The leading theory among U.S. officials is that the Soviets considered Holbrook an especially acute pest: he speaks perfect Russian and had made many friends among the Soviet military.

Colonel Thomas Spencer, still among the American officers who work out of the Moscow embassy-were headed toward a particularly sensitive area: Lvov, a Soviet military headquarters city...
...because of "competitive advantage." But even a rough estimate of the figures indicates that they are substantial. Flights to and from New York, three-day stays at the Sheraton Commander, receptions, videotapes, presentations, managers absent from work, and lucrative salaries begin to add up. But to Exxon managers, who regard today's students as the company's future, McCreery's generous recruiting budget is money well spent. "It's very high priority," he says. "We're selling a person on a career and a commitment...
...Frangois Truffaut, Suzanne Schiffman and Jean-Claude Grumberg Here Francois Truffaut does for theater people what he did for film folk in 1973's Day for Night: he makes charming sense of their idiosyncrasies in a story that combines amused tolerance for their odd ways with a tender regard for their idealism. The earlier film showed how a movie company on location seals itself off from the outside world and creates its own vivid reality. The Last Metro focuses on a theatrical company trying to operate in German-occupied Paris during World War II while surrounded by Gestapo agents...
