...three attack on G.E., the nation's fourth-largest military supplier (an estimated $4.5 billion in contracts in 1984), is only part of a broader fusillade that the Pentagon is aiming at the defense industry. Last week the Defense Department revealed that it has hit Pratt & Whitney for a refund of $40 million in higher-than-expected profits made supplying jet- engine spare parts. The widest barrel, however, remains pointed at General Dynamics, the country's top defense contractor, which found itself facing investigations by a federal grand jury in Connecticut and a congressional subcommittee as well as by Pentagon...
...draw great resource in arranging perspective; for the history of Harvard Black him is replete with examples of positive inspiration: Richard I. Greener, William Monroe Trotter, W.E.B. DuBois, Ned Gourd in, Leo Hansberry, Edwin Jourdain, William Hastic, Bob Moses, Barry Williams, Theodore K. Lawless, Ralph Bunch, Robert Weaver, Whitney Young, Arthur Mitchell, Mondedcia Johnson, John Hope Franklin, Countee Cullen, Eve B. Douglass (Radcliffe)--the list goes on and on. It would be a rewarding experience for students to become even more aware of the phenomenally high ratio of Black Harvardians who have made major contributions to the advancement of Black...
...Oilers are at home. Temporarily down to a solitary goaltender, awaiting a replacement from the minor leagues, they have recruited an Edmonton policeman, Floyd Whitney, for a practice session. "You're the target today, eh?" one of the stubbly giants greets Whitney reassuringly, as the Stanley Cup champions slide sleepily onto their indoor pond.

...laughs aloud at the successful plays, and drops his long jaw and howls at the blunders, drawing happy curses all around. Wimp does not fairly describe his 5-ft. 11- in., 170-lb. appearance in this bulky company, but it comes to mind. Almost every shot Gretzky takes, Officer Whitney snares in his first-baseman's mitt, an astonishment that the goalie explains later with a chagrined smile: "I didn't even see some of them. He was aiming for my glove...
Near the end of the session, Gretzky slips into a corner and vanishes. Concentrating on Finnish-born Right-Winger Jari Kurri, the Oilers' and the league's second leading scorer, Whitney half-steps out of the mouth of the goal to minimize Kurri's angle, and just then a puck plunks off his back into the net. Whitney says, "If you take your eye off Gretzky, he'll bank it off your skate, your back, your helmet, your wife. I could hang a nickel in the net, and he'd hit it every time." As majestic as the sight...
