Leave-takers spend their time working on kibbutzim, clerking in law offices, backpacking through Southeast Asia, picking apples in the French countryside, and studying at other schools. The most popular time to leave Harvard, according to statistics recently published by OCS, is after the sophomore year, and most students prefer two semesters away from Cambridge...
Other miners continue to see a bonanza in more traditional methods. About eleven miles southeast of the Carson Hill site, Canadian-backed Sonora Mining has invested $85 million to build the largest conventional gold-processing mill in North America, due to open early next year. Sonora hopes to excavate 2 million oz. of gold from the hills around Jamestown (pop. 950), a sleepy settlement born during the 1849 gold rush...

The U.S. wants to discuss "regional issues," like Soviet policy toward Afghanistan, Central America, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, at a Reagan- Gorbachev meeting. The Soviets say they do not want a summit without some guarantee of progress on arms control. As the two sides emerged from private talks last week aimed at laying the groundwork for a summit, they appeared to remain far apart...
