Ford's employees seem likely to make some concessions to the company.

Consider just a few of the accomplishments achieved here and at other schools: student peace groups received new encouragement and direction for long-term anti-war activism; physicians and scientists strengthened their growing political network, which is designed, in part, to provide specific information on such topics as the infeasibility of coping medically with nuclear...
