...politicians. Stuart Eizenstat, President Carter's chief domestic affairs adviser, complained that the Reserve's moves on interest rates "aren't ones we have asked for and aren't ones we have applauded." Wisconsin Democrat William Proxmire, the Senate Banking Committee chairman, who cast the sole negative vote against Miller's nomination, groused that the federal funds advance was wrong because "the economy is not at a point where restraint is appropriate." Investors have shown no such concern. The born-again stock market, say some Wall Streeters, is the "Miller market...
...similar repressive countries. But one could also have called attention to those revolutionaries rotting in Cuban prisons. I think, for example, of Major Huber Matos, a comrade-in-arms of Fidel Castro in the guerilla movement, who has been 18 years--yes, 18 years--in jail, for the sole crime of expressing disagreement with the Maximum Lider, and who spent a considerable period of time in solitary confinement for refusing to wear the obnoxious yellow jackets that Castro has decreed such prisoners should wear--a story which was documented last year by "Worldview," a liberal Christian magazine. And one could...
...strengths. U.S. ships are larger, can cruise for longer periods and have greater battle endurance than the Soviet vessels. Russian submarines are noisier than their U.S. counterparts and therefore easier to detect and destroy. Before firing their missiles, some of these vessels must surface, betraying their positions.

These disadvantages, however, do not significantly reduce the Soviet threat at sea because Russia's wartime aims...
...legal client. According to the charges, he used $13,000 to buy stock and $11,000 as a down payment for an office building. He faces up to ten years in jail. Last month his license to practice law was lifted for three years. Since then, Geralds' sole income has been his $24,000 annual salary as a legislator. But, unlike any other Michigan lawmaker convicted of a felony in the state legislature's 143-year history, he has refused to resign from the house. Says Geralds, who is also appealing the guilty verdict: "I know...
Moving back to present realities, Harvard must beat Yale to have any chance to win sole possession of the league crown and an NCAA berth. The Elis stand 12-6, 7-1 in the league, after thrashing Dartmouth, 7-2, in New Haven yesterday. Harvard stands 8-3, 4-0 in the league, with three cakewalk matches and the May 9 showdown with 5-0 Princeton remaining after today...
