...society would be the first to suffer if we closed factories, raised the price of gasoline, or otherwise added to the cost of maintaining our energy-related existence." The first couple of weeks in June, when many antinuclear protests are scheduled on the local level around the country, will show the true strength of the movement...
Difficult as these fights were, the Democratic leaders actually had more trouble with their big-spending allies. Lobbyists from consumer, church, education, union and urban groups stalked Congressmen in the halls and their offices, showing open disdain for efforts to reduce the budget, despite the clear public cry for less Government spending.

...mergers and takeovers would be prevented unless management could prove that joining together would improve competition or operating efficiency.

Instead, if Mr. Bok's arguments are followed to their logical conclusion, the Corporation probably will with-draw...
...this letter meant to support the University's position in opposition to divestiture. My intent is simply to show that Mr. Bok's arguments are untenable. Although, Mr. Bok "abhors" apartheid, he will never be able to logically justify leading the University in taking a stand against it. To do so, even when the system has been beaten down, will endanger what he conceives to be the holiest of holies, the "bottom line." In effect, morality, can and always will be displaced. That feeling is not only unacceptable; it is dangerous. Marvin N. Bagwell '76, Law '79 Proctor...
