While Leahy searches for energy reductions and Coburn and Gerrity scramble for viable repair plans, more extensive work is taking place across the Charles. This Monday, the Business School will begin several major renovation programs. Most notable is what Paul H. Lapointe, assistant dean of the B-School, calls a "complete renovation and mechanical overhaul" of Chase Hall, a B-School dorm, at a cost of $5.6 million--almost half of what is set aside for the entire undergraduate House system from the Harvard Campaign. The changes in Chase follow previous alteration projects in McCulloch Hall in 1978 ($3.5 million...
...that the Houses and other buildings are in disrepair, College administrators have nevertheless been limited in what they can do. Faced with a College-wide budgetary squeeze and pressure to keep annual tuition as low as possible, administrators have deferred maintainance on the Houses and buildings, doing only essential repair work. "We know we're not putting enough work into buildings, but the neglect isn't so much that any building is going to fall down," Melissa D.

...waits. Waits for the findings of Steffen and Fogarty. Waits for the initiatives of Coburn and Fox. And waits for money. No one knows for sure what advice will come from the study which "did everything but take Winthrop apart brick from brick," according to Davis, or what new repair work energy-slashing measures and $12 million will allow.

...restore the pathway, the body musters its repair troops, led by the platelets, tiny disc-shaped particles in the blood that help stop bleeding by promoting clotting. These "little plates" produce a chemical, thromboxane, that constricts blood vessels and signals other platelets to gather round. The platelets also manufacture a chemical that induces the artery's exposed underlying muscle cells to multiply. "If the injury is short-lived," says Russell Ross of the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, "the proliferation process is reversible. But if the injury is chronic and repeated in the same sites...
...heart of the Labor organization for 30 years. Only five months ago, Peres defended his leadership against a challenge by former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, with whom he had feuded bitterly-and publicly-for years. Since then he has spent almost all of his energies trying to repair the resulting damage to party unity and bring its unruly factions under control in time for the election. Peres in some ways seemed at a disadvantage for the formidable task of forging party unity, however, because he is seen by many Israelis as a man of changing loyalties and imprecise convictions...
