In another letter, in April, the son referred to his problem once more, saying, "At the rate I'm going, I'll have over a hundred pounds of sovenirs (sic)." Many of the documents in the Poolesville trash bag came from the Nimitz. When Michael Walker was arrested aboard the carrier in Haifa, Israel, last week, 15 lbs. of classified materials were reportedly discovered concealed in a box near his bunk. He was confined and charged with espionage. Like...

And I mean the kind of a set up that, if we wanted to could put Gov. Laxalt in the White House...
...floor of the building, unseen. It is ironic, providing that Crimson had the correct quotation, that Mr. Steiner feels that President Reagan's policy-making regarding future investments in South Africa would have anything to do with Harvard's longstanding portfolio in South Africa. And finally, it is monumentously [sic] ironic, if the Gazette quoted correctly, that President Bok is so presumptuous as to feel that he can lobby for policy changes in the government legislation surrounding South African investments when he will not even make policy changes or heed lobbies to do so at the University that...
