...cases. For one thing, Parvin had been named a co-conspirator -but was never tried-in a securities-law violation case along with Louis Wolfson. Moreover, the Parvin Foundation derived its income from Albert Parvin's ties with Las Vegas gambling operations. This raised a question similar to the central issue of the Fortas affair: Should a Supreme Court Justice be judged by the company he keeps? Adding to the intrigue was the fact that until last week the Parvin Foundation retained Carolyn Agger-Abe Fortas' wife and a top Washington lawyer-as its tax consultant...

In retaliation, the U.S. at week's end ordered a Tass correspondent based in Washington to get out of the country within 48 hours...
Lerner estimates that more than two-thirds of the $6 billion needed for his offshore jetport could be raised by the sale and development of the old J.F.K. Airport on Jamaica Bay.

Lowe's is best known as the manufacturer of Kitty Litter, a granulated clay that is used to line cat boxes. The firm, which had sales...
Tuition for Harvard College is to be raised $400 next year. Yet, if the college were completely to subsidize student fees for the next ten years, and if the investments grown at a rate similar to that of the last twenty years (taking into account the fact that much less would be reinvested each year than before) the present billion dollars would become $2.2 billion by 1977. This would hardly leave Harvard financially "busted...
