...Harvard education seems not to amount to much more than a continuous chain of unanswered questions. The Real World's equivalent to Harvard's fat envelope of rooming forms and religious preference cards amounts to a yearlong barrage of inquiries from major corporations asking seniors to register for their credit cards. I'm not sure I will need a Sears credit card. Do I want Gulf or Mobil? They both say they won't charge me anything, but "this may be your last chance...
...terms of plot, the show is merely the stuff of any normal television soap opera: rape, plunder, anguish, despair. But the yearlong Japanese TV series Sanga Moyu is causing a real-life melodrama of its own. Based on a popular novel, Two Homelands by Toyoko Yamasaki, it is the story of the Japanese-American Amoh family, immigrants to the U.S. whose national loyalties are tested by World War II.

Perhaps the central figures, however, were Phillip Moffitt...
...September 1982, rumors of First National's shakiness started a yearlong drain on the bank in which customers, including many with large accounts from out of state, withdrew more than half of the bank's $1.4 billion in deposits. First National responded by tightening its loan policy, selling its headquarters for $75 million, and in July hiring a new president, Thomas Wageman, formerly president of Chicago's LaSalle National Bank. Its directors, who include some of Texas' wealthiest oilmen, pledged to pump in some $40 million. But First National had drilled itself too deep a hole...
