...Japanese government and several big Japanese companies have each donated $1 million to Harvard during the past two years, and in a sense the exhibit is a thank-you from Cambridge. But assembling the artifacts has been so fascinating to the exhibit's organizers that on its return to the U.S., they hope to open it at another site where interest in the school's 337-year history also runs high: Harvard University...
Although his office is filled with ceremonial symbols of Austria's imperial past, Kreisky has been a most unregal Chancellor. He freely mingles with the public without a bodyguard, writes innumerable thank-you notes, and waits his turn in line for the ski lift when on vacation.

"To think," the woman said, "that you three nurses took care of him and that a doctor never...
...style of confidence can be found on nearly every page of South to a Very Old Place, a highly syncopated memoir of youth and a celebration of U.S. Negro culture. It is a perfect companion volume to Willie Morris' North Toward Home, the pair constituting a sort of thank-you gift to Historian C. Vann Woodward for his helpful advice that it is foolish to try to think of the white Southerner without thinking about the black Southerner at the same time. The book, in fact, grew out of an assignment Murray got from Morris when he was editor...
