Lockers Looted: Four items were reported taken in separate incidents from the Law School's Hemenway Gym last Saturday afternoon, including a Seiko watch, two wallets and a lock...
...sassy pertness that marks the style of many young, contemporary female vocalists has obviously impressed Seiko Matsuda, 21. She might well be the Olivia Newton-John of Japan. Seiko has what her countrymen describe as the girl-next-door look (if you happen to live in a suburban Osaka apartment complex) and, to be polite, a less than major lyrical talent.

The companies include a number of well-established firms with recognizable brand names in digital watches, stereo equipment and calculators: Canon, Hitachi, Toshiba, Seiko, Sharp and Casio. Nippon Electric Co., the giant electronics firm, is now selling $100 million worth of personal computer equipment in the U.S., and last week it introduced three versions of its latest model...
