...Commission on Extension Courses was founded in 1909-10 through the Lowell Institute, established late in the last century by the will of that peripatetic Boston patrician, John Lowell, who expressly intended that the student in the "more abstruse, erudite, and particular" courses offered need not pay a sum "exceeding the value of two bushels of wheat." Under the impetus of his descendant, Harvard's new President A Lawrence Lowell, the Commission was formed, bringing together the rich institutional resources of Boston College, Boston University, MIT, Simmons, Tufts, Wellesley and others, including the Museum of Fine Arts, to provide...
...workers collect supplemental unemployment benefits of just under 95% of their basic pay. But Chrysler Corp.'s SUB funds are expected to run out by early April and General Motors' by mid-May. Other unemployed people are drawing down their bank savings and selling off stocks. In sum, few people are totally destitute yet, but there could be spreading poverty and grave social trouble if high unemployment persists...
...ordered awards by Chisso in 1970. But under what has come to be known as the three-P policy (polluters pay for pollution), another group of victims sued for more money, and the courts upheld the suit.

...organized Washington operation is carried out by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the only group formally registered to lobby on behalf of legislation affecting Israel. Some 12,000 members throughout the nation last year contributed $400,000 to its budget?a sum substantially larger than the budgets of most major lobbying groups. That money supports AIPAC's savvy eleven-member staff (average salary: about $15,000). A separate budget of $200,000 pays for an informative newsletter, Near East Report, which is distributed to some 30,000 subscribers, including Congressmen and other policymakers. The staff was directed since...
