Instead of departing Malaga, however, the Coral Sea was unexpectedly ordered to remain in port and at least temporarily to scrap its plans for a return home...
Especially given the criticism leveled last week by Bishop Desmond M. Tutu and the Rev. Allen Boesak--widely recognized leaders of the very people the university intended to aid by sending interns--it seems likely that Bok will now have to scrap the program, at least as currently conceived.

The capsule form of Tylenol amounted to about 30% of the pain reliever's estimated 1985 sales of $525 million. To make up for its loss, the company last week began promoting Tylenol in the form of caplets, which are the smooth, elongated tablets that Johnson & Johnson began producing in 1983, after seven...
