...eyes are often glazed, almost as if he were in a trance. His face is puffy, possibly a sign of cortisone treatment. He grasps a pen and signs his name only with great difficulty. Still, as Soviet Communist Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev, 72, climbed the long flight of steps to the top of the Lenin mausoleum in Moscow last week, he looked healthier than he has in months. For more than two hours, he stood stolidly in a bleak drizzle, waving occasionally to the thousands of Soviet soldiers, schoolchildren and workers who marched through Red Square in the annual...
...Betty, a bout with alcoholism that once sent him reeling onto the Senate floor-Talmadge has little left but his political career, and he intends to fight for it. He defiantly reaffirmed his candidacy in February, upon emerging from the Long Beach Naval Medical Center after five weeks of treatment that he says cured his drinking problem. Two weeks ago, he spurned an offer by Senator Adlai Stevenson, chairman of the Ethics Committee, to drop the hearings if he would accept Senate censure...
Last August Libya's radical leader, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, visited Wiesbaden for treatment of liver and kidney ailments. There he got a phone call from West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, who asked that Libya join other countries which have pledged not to give refuge to West German terrorists.

Recalling the rough treatment that the press gave top management in the winter of 1974, when Exxon announced similarly enormous profit gains during the Arab oil embargo, the company avoided a press conference; instead, it announced the earnings by faceless press release. Chairman Clifton Garvin and President Howard Kauffmann even managed to be out of town on vacations, leaving any explaining to be handled...
...faculty recently approved the recommendations of a committee chaired by Heskett, which studied the Business School curriculum for two years. Under the revised curriculum, the areas Bok outlines get treatment in bits and pieces in a variety of courses, including "Human Behavior in Organizations," "Business Policy," and "Business, Government, and the International Economy." There is no separate ethics course. Heskett says the Business School prefers to treat ethical problems wherever they come up in each course, rather than pigeon-holing them into one course which might, be dominated by those students who already have a special interest in ethics...
