...headquarters of NIH, Cohen got a more sympathetic response. After an NIH audit, the agency hit Harvard for a refund of $132,000. "Most of Cohen's allegations had substance," says NIH Division Manager James Shriver. "When we completed our investigation of his activities, Harvard made restitution almost immediately." But NIH was sufficiently aroused to ask for a broader investigation by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. HEW's preliminary findings, released earlier this year, hit Cambridge like a ton of red tape: HEW auditors questioned the way Harvard accounted for 40% of $37 million in federal...
...weren't for teenylobbers like Tracy Austin and Pam Shriver, U.S. tennis this season would be nothing but schmaltzy mixed doubles. First it was Jimmy Connors wedding his onetime Playboy playmate.

I wanted to be accepted by my colleagues, to show them I could in fact work," says Maria, who graduated last spring from Washington's Georgetown University. She sees TV as a way of bringing social problems, like those in Appalachia and Watts, to public attention...
...complaints are plain silly. The authors sniff linguistic oppression in the fact that women are said to "marry into" families; the same thing, of course, is said of men when they hitch up to richer or more prominent clans. Prince Phillip "married into" the British royal family. Sargent Shriver did the same to the House of Kennedy...
