...Saudis, Arab solidarity is essential if the Soviets are to be prevented from exploiting Arab quarrels. Communism, the Saudis believe, is almost as much a threat to the Arab world as Zionism. They feel an overall peace settlement would "deradicalize" the Arabs, whose frustrations about Israel have fostered a brand of terrorism that has frightened the Riyadh rulers.

...Before, I felt sort of squashed by Harvard as an entity--it became almost a threat with all the academic pressure," says Kathy Duffin '78. The biochemistry concentrator says, "If everyone around me is worried about grades, it's hard for me not to be, too." Duffin spent her sophomore year in Adams House and last year in an apartment with three graduate students. Now she shares an apartment with a secretary who works...
