...news representatives claimed−and Democratic officials admit−that New York City convention costs have soared far beyond those in Miami four years ago, even allowing for inflation. The prices are equally exorbitant when compared with the current costs of setting up shop for the Republican Convention in Kansas City that begins Aug. 16. Some New York examples...
...Lebanon mountains, has long been a favorite summer resort, both for wealthy Lebanese and Arabs from neighboring lands. It was there last week that the advancing Syrians met their first real resistance. On Tuesday, reports Wynn, the town was battle-scarred. Along the Beirut-Damascus highway, corrugated shutters of shop after shop were curled up from the shelling. Many of the cypress trees that once sheltered vacationing strollers had been smashed to splinters. Testimony to the Palestinian resistance was provided by three burned-out tanks that lay beside the road...
Harvard again acted unwisely in the case of Sherman Holcombe, a kitchen worker and union shop steward who was suspended in February after an altercation with his supervisor. Holcombe's treatment in the wake of his suspension was lamentable; the entire case pointed up glaring flaws--as yet not rectified--in the University's internal grievance mechanism. Holcombe's case proved that a worker cannot receive a fair hearing if his immediate supervisor--who is often a party to the dispute--is also called upon to conduct the investigation into the case...
...Holcombe case was a harbinger of greater troubles in the Harvard kitchens. Frustrated by the racist policies of dining hall manager Buford Simpson, a restrictive summer hiring policy and the intimidation of shop stewards by Simpson and others, nearly one hundred workers walked off their jobs during a lunch hour several weeks ago.

No effort was made to initiate a dialogue between the University and the workers to resolve the problems which...
Back in February, the University gave Radcliffe dining hall shop steward Sherman Holcombe his walking papers; Holcombe claimed it was because of his union activity, but the University said it was only because he cooked a batch of cauliflower au gratin too early. Well, we like our cauliflower au gratin cooked right just as much as the next guy, but we can't help doffing our hats to that feisty shop steward who set the Food Services on their ear for a couple of months. Holcombe's suspension inspired brunch boycotts, demonstrations, and the most protracted rash of protest song...
