...Finally, Craigie Arms is not the cosmic tug of war between profitability and morality you suggest. Harvard Real Estate has agreed to sell the building and lease the land on reasonable terms which will allow the proposed renovations to serve a range of income levels. And contrary to the assertion that the "luxury" rents maximize HRE's return, the market mix in fact supports the lower income rents which would not otherwise be achievable in the absence of federal subsidies...
...LAND where executives give writers notes like "Should be 25 percent funnier," it's a wonder films get made at all. As Goldman frequently points out, nobody knows anything, nobody is in control. "Movies are these great elephantine husks that hundreds of people at various times are trying to tug toward a finish line." It's hard to fault his inability to articulate just what makes a "good" screenplay; he can never tell, either...

A week after the Fishers' oldest son Dirk discovered bronze cannons that irrefutably identified the Atocha, he and his wife and another diver drowned when a salvage tug capsized...
Because beam weapons are largely unaffected by the tug of gravity, they could be aimed straighter than the proverbial arrow. In space, laser beams would have almost infinite range, as NASA showed when it bounced laser light off small mirrors left behind by the Apollo astronauts on the moon. (At lower altitudes, laser beams, like any light, are readily diffused by clouds and even fog.) Charged particles, on the other hand, would be influenced by the effects of the earth's magnetic field. But researchers are working on machines that shoot particles with no electrical charge, like simple hydrogen...
...MILLER TIME. Below, a catamaran emblazoned with the Schlitz brand name cruises by, followed by a fleet of sailboards that extol SALEM SPIRIT. At one of the 380 or so hotels that line the 23 miles of beach, John Bradley, 22, a recent Cornell graduate, is conducting poolside tug-of-war and trivia contests sponsored by Camel cigarettes while half a dozen pretty assistants distribute T shirts, hats and other souvenirs...
