...that it would Go to Angola, or at least send a representative "to provide us first-hand information on Gulf's performance" (though the information provided by PALC and Farber left little in doubt). In defending the Corporation's stand against divestiture. Bok pointed out that life is a web of guilt-by-association, equating Harvard's Gulf investment with personal income tax payments which support the Vietnam...
...rectangles, which drench the viewer in a field of color-but also in their light and density of surface. Resnick is a quite traditional painter, to the extent that he works in intimate, stroke-by-stroke contact with his painting. Brush marks pile on one another, forming a layered web of minutely graded pigment.

One is the American value system, which is causing the Old World family structure to crumble and is weakening some of the once-powerful crime dynasties. According to Historian Humbert Nelli, the Mafiosi's respect for authority-a trait that used to cement loyalties-is decaying. For this reason, more and more Mafiosi are deciding to go straight. In one Mafia family that Ianni studied, only four out of 27 fourth-generation Italian-Americans are connected with organized crime. Of the remaining...
