Republican Whip Leslie Arends warned that "unless we stop spending, we will have additional tax-raising bills before us." A G.O.P. resolution came within 20 votes of knocking out the bill's key provisions, which will reimpose the 7% tax on new cars and the 10% tax on telephone service. In the end, the measure was passed by 246 votes to 146, but even most members who voted aye did so reluctantly...
That's how the ad in the Village Voice ran and, while it wouldn't exactly be like having Mickey Mantle endorse your shaving cream, manufacturers might well consider what Andy's painstaking pop pictures did for Campbell Soups.

Attendance is undoubtedly "expected" at the dinners and seminars, as it is at most Harvard classes. But as with most Harvard classes, no one is standing over the Fellows with a whip demanding attendance. I doubt if one of us has not missed one or two dinners and seminars because of conflicts in schedule, lack of interest in the subject, or some other reason...
