...Congress, is treble damages. Price Commission staff members are conferring with the Justice Department about ways of getting such damages repaid to consumers without forcing them to sue. Last week, for the first time, the commission ordered a company to lower its prices by an amount triple the sum of its "excess" profits. The accused profiteer was Godfrey Co., a food distributor headquartered in Waukesha, Wis., with annual sales of $126 million. Godfrey's troubles stemmed partly from the fact that its fiscal year ended in March: the commission figures that only a full-year profit margin can provide...
...sum of the resolutions was less precise. It was to be a strike against the University in support of the PALC demand for divestiture, yet there was to be no picketing of classes-thus it was a strike without teeth. Strikers professed support for antiwar candidates from the Democratic Party: yet they also declared their comradely alliance with the people of the Third World...
...sweet as James Wilson's "Casey's Revenge," the 1906 sequel to "Casey at the Bat."

And yet, I will never forget how he raised his glass, looked at me with a sad smile and said, "How long can they keep screwing us? We'll get them...
...larger faculties, more appointments are made, but the appointment process consists of a host of individual searches by many individual committees covering a shifting number of highly varied fields of knowledge. Once again, no one can predict what proportions of women or minority persons will emerge within the sum of these separate search efforts. Second, I fear that setting targets will inevitably exert strong pressures to meet outside goals--a pressure that will undermine to some extent the University's overriding obligation to select the very best candidate for each available position...
