...absurd to say [the move] is not a resultof pressure," said Tina Smith '83, a member ofAlumni Against Aparthied...
...often the case with the instinctively monogamous, my interest in Harvard women varied inversely with the state of my relationship with Tina. In November it looked like a permanent tailspin, and I began to take the fall for a femme on the fifth floor of my entry, coincidentally also named Christina.

The title describes the new attitude she developed during her mid-1970s breakup with Ike Turner, who, she says, beat and abused her. "Instead of using 'we,' meaning Ike and myself, everything from that point on was 'I' -- what I think, what I want," reflects Turner, 47. Her wants are certainly being met. Last week she became the 1,841st celebrity to get her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And then there...
