...development staff will also have to determine how broad a scope the drive will have, i.e., whether it would include only the Faculty or whether all programs dealing with public policy--the Kennedy School of Government, the Graduate School of Design, the Graduate Schools of Education and perhaps the School of Public Health--will be included. And the Office still has to find someone to head the drive--Robert Stone Jr. '45, a member of the Corporation, is one name being dropped but sources say he may have already rejected a tentative offer...
...negotiations, which continued until July 5 under a special contract extension, seemed near a successful conclusion early this summer, but a dispute over the scope of union bargaining authority derailed the talks. Letteri said Harvard's failure to guarantee job security to officers who fail their mandatory physical examinations was part of "a big all-out effort to break up the union" by using the physicals as an excuse to weed out uncooperative union members...
Congress will give the program the scrutiny its scope deserves. Carter says he hopes to get the jobs program passed "as soon as possible." But no part will be enacted before 1978, and the full program would not go into effect until 1981. Congressional reaction has been cautious, with a variety of quibbles.

His voice is like the trumpet of the Lord at the Second Coming. He can insinuate like a violin, wheedle like a clarinet and thunder anathemas like a great bass drum. And alongside that, Richardson maintains a physical counterpoint of impish comic invention, which is an equally essential...
...known of the existence of the star -dubbed MWC 349-since the 1930s. But it was not until this past year that researchers studying the star through the 2.3-meter (90 in.) infra-red telescope at Arizona's Steward Observatory and the 91-cm. (36 in.) infra-red scope in Ames' Kuiper Airborne Observatory, realized how unusual it was. In simultaneous observations, the scientists discovered that the star, already ten times the size and 30 times the mass of the sun, was surrounded by a great glowing disc some 224 million km. (approximately 140 million miles) in diameter...
