...more than 70% of capacity, the highest room-occupancy rate in two decades. Some cities today are so over run with conventioneers that there is, quite literally, no room at the inn. Says Chicago's Jay Lurye, 55, one of a growing number of professional meeting planners: "The whole convention business is like a sleeping giant that has suddenly sprung...
...industry officials fear that the Carter Administration may try to extend those restrictions, on grounds that the tax deductibility of conventions is a boondoggle for the relatively well-to-do. A valid point; poor people do not go to conventions much. Frets the lACVB's Hosmer: "It's the whole three-martini lunch idea. They may eventually start saying that a convention delegate can only deduct a portion of his expenses when he's in this country.

...fewer than a hundred of the nation's almost 45,000 dialysis patients use CAPD. But that is likely to change.

During the ACSR meeting of Nov. 29, 1978, the following hypothetical situation was discussed: if the whole Harvard community (variously defined as 90 to 99 per cent) were to favor the initiation of a shareholder resolution in a company, should the Harvard Corporation be bound to take the action? The answer of these members was no, because, in the words of one, it was "too much democracy." Since some committee members have shown what I consider paternalistic attitudes towards South African blacks, suggesting that blacks do not know what is best for themselves, I wonder why these members should doubt...
...whole case-by-case approach is unrealistic. I said that it was impractical at last year's corporation hearing, and I believe the same thing now. This year's progress has not even met my meager expectations. Half of the committee has studied, though not evaluated according to plan, three corporations. That's as far as we have gotten. A unified treatment is necessary for this reason and others which I listed in Appendix C of the last ACSR report...
