...Last winter the Federation leaders refined the vague consensus of the February meeting into three specific requests: a pay increase that would have meant $800 a year more to most teaching fellows; the abolition of the pay differential Harvard maintains between teaching fellows who have completed residence requirements for their doctorate and those who have not; and a redefinition of the University's criteria for measuring a teaching fellow's work load...

...that, Ladbroke's sometimes goes to the cleaner's itself. Four years ago, when an unusually severe winter cold snap snuffed out sports events for eleven weeks running, the books closed with a chilly $80,000 annual profit. As a hedge against such disasters, Ladbroke's bankrolled a new casino and hotel complex (run by Sheraton) on Malta. Completed only last July, it is already returning a steady...
