Petti's arrival in Cambridge will be homecoming of sorts; he received degrees from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School. His career in various human resources posts has taken him from a 19-year stint with the Inland Steel Company--where he was responsible for 24,000 employees--to the $6 billion corporation Alcan Aluminum, and now to Harvard...
...canine terror is the American pit bull, a dog with a squat, muscular body and thick, steel-trap jaws that is descended from the fighting bulldogs of 19th century England.

Democrat Stephen Solarz of New York, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Affairs, criticized the Pakistani government of President Mohammed Zia ul-Haq for showing "blatant disregard" for U.S. antiproliferation laws...
...coyote threw a couple of railroad spikes in after them. He said the men could use them to punch through the car floor when they reached their destination. Then he slammed the door shut and locked it. But the smugglers apparently did not realize that this was an airtight steel car, lined with wood and insulating foam, designed to carry beer. The floor was nine inches thick...
