Goldman believes that both the corporation and the studied country stand to gain from partially corporate-supported European studies. He gives the example of a rubber company that may pollute the air in a city and then feel compelled, out of community relations, to build a hospital in the area. Logically, then, if that company got its rubber from outside the country: "For the sake of argument, say they got the rubber from Liberia, well then why not put the money in African studies?"

LaRue, a Nixon re-election committee aide who had arranged some of the payments to the arrested Watergate burglars; and having accepted two illegal corporate contributions ($40,000 from Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and $30,000 from Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co.).

(He later admitted that the party embarked from Lebanon.) Sadat must be cautious at a time when much...
...first sounds of trouble came shortly before midnight when gunfire abruptly shattered the raucous gaiety of Tel Aviv's waterfront, a center of the city's night life. After killing a passing Israeli soldier who fired at them as they came up off the beach from their rubber dinghy, the commandos, loaded down with rucksacks and Kalashnikov rifles, ran down Samuel Esplanade, the main shore drive, firing at a movie theater and tossing grenades at a wedding hall. Passers-by fled in all directions, but few suspected an Arab attack. Said Gabi Edri, 17, a waiter...
