Although Frusztajer says he experienced some doubts about his decision the summer before he came to Harvard, in the end his uncertainty was allayed. "I was concerned whether I'd be able to get back to studying at Harvard, but I found I had much more motivation as a result of being away from school.

...agreement was the highlight of a surprisingly wild week of merger activity, which came at a time when many Wall Streeters had been expecting a slowdown in takeover bids because of tax reform and the insider- trading scandal (see following story).

And Sen. Gore is certainly no appeaser of apartheid. He voted last summer for particularly harsh sanctions against South Africa. That will certainly have more effect on conditions there than Harvard hemming and hawing and "taking a stand for the values of equality and freedom that we ostensibly hold sacrosanct...
