...issue of free speech itself did not come up until we were physically prevented, by a private security firm, from distributing leaflets. Free speech, we feel, is a method by which we can help to end the strike--or at least do what we can in support of that end. There is, however, the question of whether or not the public distribution of information was appropriate. We would not have done so had Professor Herzlinger once met with us. I, along with others, have e-mailed her or left notes in her office asking for meetings many times since...
...leaflet went on to make several allegations against the company's actions, such as illegal behavior of security forces over the course of the strike. By Cardinal Health's own admission (see its statements in the Nov. 7 Crimson), this was in fact the case. That they have replaced the security company does not atone for previous violations or abuses. Nor has the new security company been free from suspicion of foul play...
...Russian Foreign Minister had been hunkered down in a Baghdad bunker with American bombs falling around him after he failed to broker a deal to head off the Gulf War. Now, with two U.S. carrier battle groups and 300 warplanes poised in the Persian Gulf for another major strike against Iraq, the pressure was on Primakov once more.

The tumbling value of Citicorp alone has cost him, as the banking company's largest shareholder, $640 million by the time the clock strikes noon on Wall Street. But to Alwaleed the only question is: At which precise moment should he strike? He and his advisers have spent six months studying 40 companies. Now prices are becoming more of a bargain by the second. So many stocks, so little time. Alwaleed sits elbows up at a cockpit-style desk...
Since Carey's union learned of his ouster, the race to take his place in the upcoming election has seemed headed for turmoil. Top contenders include George Cashman, who heads a large Boston local, and Ken Hall, a chief negotiator in the UPS strike last summer. Front runner Tom Leedham, who heads the Teamsters' warehouse division, has the backing of the influential Teamsters for a Democratic Union. But Hoffa charged last week that contributors like Gail Zappa--wife of rock singer Frank Zappa--had made contributions to the reform group that were arranged by the Democratic National Committee. That brought...
