...loyalists in the legislature, or someone with absolutely no interest in the matter I don't know," Sullivan said later. "I tend to doubt the latter possibility, however," he added. Through it all, University officialdom maintained a stiff, rigormortised upper lip. "We have no objections to the bill." Robin Schmidt, vice-president for government and community affairs, said, although he would not say he supported the measure. "This has all been done in a reasonable manner," Schmidt's assistant, Lewis Armistead, added...

...crafted for six months. He held to it like a bulldog. And when the seven leaders gathered around the head table in Venice for their final declarations, Jimmy Carter was first among the equals. The real bulldog, Mrs. Thatcher, was next in line. Giscard, still elegant, but surprised, and Schmidt, more than a bit tarnished by being a bit too Germanic, were tied for third...
