Right Price. A less controversial reform went into effect last week, when the SEC-suggested Consolidated Tape network began operation. The tape carries quotations for all 2,000 issues traded on the New York Stock Exchange, but in addition to prices on the Big Board itself, it records prices for the same stocks in six other markets. For each trade effected off the Big Board, the stock symbol is followed on the tape by an ampersand and a letter for the market involved: M for the Midwest Stock Exchange, P for the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange...
...process of setting up the nuts-and-bolts machinery to research the issues raised in the October letter has been a slow one, as Rosovsky himself admits. But, despite the inevitable delays of red tape, educational reform has been a more frequent topic of discussion at Harvard this year than it has in a long time: witness the great number of letters Dean Rosovsky has received from students and 200 faculty members...
Overly optimistic, some U.S. immigration officials had predicted that all the Vietnamese refugees would be settled in their new American homes within three months.

...told a White House aide that he knew about a $100,000 Nixon campaign contribution from Howard Hughes. Not long after, the White House plumbers apparently tried to crack the green Meilink safe in Greenspun's office. After that break-in was disclosed in the Nixon tape transcripts last year, Greenspun became the only journalist to testify before the Senate Watergate committee. The object of the breakin, he theorizes, was probably a sheaf of handwritten memos from Howard Hughes to a subordinate. Yet Greenspun mysteriously will not say how he got the memos, and refuses to publish them...
