Most of the recollections--not necessarily in chronological order--stemmed out of my activity in the then Harvard Liberal Club, which in those days could boast a clubhouse heavily mortgaged but benefiting by the benign trusteeship of at least two faculty members: Arthur Holcombe and Arthur M. Schlesinger (the father, of course). Much of our activity was unstructured because we were...
Carter's interest stands in contrast to U.S. attitudes during most of the 31 years of American trusteeship. From 1947 to 1960, the U.S. neglected Micronesia almost entirely. Then, stung by a strongly critical U.N. report, Washington began pouring in money, mostly for education and social welfare.

Fuqua executives and some Avis shareholders implied that Smith does not want to sell because of the fees he derives from the trusteeship. Over the past two years, they note, Smith has received fees of $100,000 from ITT. His law firm got $220,000 from ITT for various services involving Avis.

" -British Actor-Director Richard Attenborough was "thrilled beyond measure" when he received from No. 10 Downing Street a letter offering him a trusteeship in London's prestigious Tate Gallery. So thrilled, he later remembered, that he neglected to open a second letter from the same address. It contained a polite inquiry as to whether Attenborough would accept a British knighthood. "It has not fully sunk in yet," said Attenborough happily last week after...
