...Indian beliefs hold ancestral remains to be sacred," wrote Stanford provost James Rosse. The result, though, was one nasty academic fight. Bert Gerow, an emeritus professor of anthropology at Stanford and curator of the remains for about 40 years, immediately announced he was the owner of most of them. Thereupon the chairman of Stanford's anthropology department, James Lowell Gibbs Jr., had the locks changed on the collection. The wrangle grew wider as scientists contemplated the loss of the bones, some up to 3,000 years old, which have long been available for study. Clement Meighan, head of the American...
...something was wrong. Sternly the Prime Minister warned that because of the passport violation, Koskotas might have to go to jail. Eventually Papandreou declared Koskotas need not worry. But there were certain requirements. An election was coming, the Prime Minister stressed, and PASOK needed 5 billion drachmas ($33 million).

Among the trove was a 3,200-year-old carved wooden face of Amenophis...
Lipscomb, it turned out, did not have the promised kickback money in hand. Colino thereupon devised still another ruse, say investigators, whereby Intelsat was charged $1.2 million by Lipscomb to enable the firm to order construction materials far in advance of use. The money was paid out in January 1985, but no materials were ever ordered or delivered. Part of the cash went to a Swiss bank account controlled by Colino...
...Ford is supposed to be a hotbed of good ideas," said Owen Bieber, president of the United Auto Workers. "We're going to give them the opportunity to demonstrate that the same is true in the labor-relations arena." Bieber's 1.1 < million-member union thereupon served notice last week, well before its labor contract expires on Sept. 14, that the No. 2 U.S. automaker would be the U.A.W.'s priority target in seeking a new three-year pact. The designation was meant to put increased bargaining pressure on the target company, a pattern that in years past meant...
