...would do well to listen to ACSR alumni member Herbert P. Gleason '50. Gleason, no extremist, recently said that there is "no possible justification for making money out of tobacco." The Corporation should also realize that its chances of persuading Morris to abandon cigarette production are about as slim as the chances that its cigarettes will be found to be good for the lungs. Unless either of those unlikely scenarios develops, we think it's best that the managers of Harvard's portfolio kick the Philip Morris habit...
DIED. Louis Aragon, 85, engaged and engaging rebel, homme des lettres and uncrowned laureate of French Communism; in Paris. A Dadaist and co-founder in 1919 of surrealism, Aragon was a decorated hero of two World Wars, revered especially for the ringing patriotism of his 1940s Resistance poems.

The bad news: the White House has a rule that no staff member can earn more than 15% of his salary a year from outside work. The good news: royalties are not covered by the rules. Deaver could yet end up in Fat City...
Only on the MX is Reagan's military position eroding. Support for producing the MX, which reached 45% in September 1981, dropped to 35% in the latest poll, taken shortly after the President made his TV pitch for the missile. A slim majority (51%) opposes its production, while 14% are uncertain. Thus the congressional votes cast against the new weapon seem politically safe...
