...would, indeed, be very surprising if Reagan's Justice Department requires more than token adjustments in the new $50 billion Socal-gulf company. Reagan can claim no significant anti-trust prosecutions during his tenure--despite the mergers that have resulted in 30,000-mile railroad giants like Norfolk Southern and Southern Pacific-Santa Fe, and the recent rumblings in the steel industry where U.S. Steel, Republic Steel and LTV Corporation, three of the five biggest steel companies in the country, are planning mergers and acquisitions...
...advocates reasoning with a genocidal and intransigent ruling class. It is therefore not surprising that he calls the Sullivan Principles, "a series of basic humane guidelines." This is perhaps the clearest abandonment of old SASC's basic line. The Sullivan Principles call "for desegregated bathrooms and training programs for token black executives" to quote an old SASC leaflet. In fact, they provide for a total of 96 managers and managers in training in South Africa. Yet, Silvers thinks pure white domination under the Sullivan Principles to be "humane." He does not mention that the Sullivan Principles were created...
...forces in Europe are an indispensable component. Such a decision might in fact invigorate the conventional arms-reduction talks and in time lead to stability at a lower level. But if Europe should opt for a perpetuation of the present ambivalence or for only a token improvement, then the U.S. will owe it to the overall requirements of global defense to draw certain conclusions. If Europe by its own decision condemns itself to permanent conventional inferiority, we will have no choice but to opt for a deployment of U.S. forces in Europe that makes strategic and political sense. If nuclear...
...same token, European leadership in the MBFR and INF negotiations would place final responsibility for both conventional force levels and intermediate-range missile deployment in Europe with the leaders whose countries will have to bear the brunt?for good or ill?of the outcome of these negotiations. This is especially important with respect to the American intermediate-range missiles in Europe. That deployment makes sense only if the allies genuinely believe that the prospect of a nuclear blow from Europe on Soviet territory will help deter a Soviet conventional attack or nuclear blackmail. If our principal allies do not share...
...Dean of Freshman Henry C. Moses III to allow minority groups to publicize their Freshman Week orientation events in a separate calendar is indicative of the growing institutional conservatism regarding minority concerns. Moses' concession, in light of student protest against the FDO last spring, is little more than a token response to student demands. Far from following the spirit of the proposals of 1969, the College has become largely content with a hands off approach to race relations. By leaving the implementation of minority programs solely to students, the administration is effectively forfeiting its social responsibility...
