Brian S. Petrovek '77, co-director of the Harvard-Radcliffe Fund, said while students can restrict the use of the Biko Fund, they haven't done...
LONG. He would restrict coverage to so-called catastrophic illness or accidents, protecting everyone against the huge medical bills that can bankrupt even a moderately well-off family. He has suggested, for example, that payments begin after $2,000 in doctor's fees plus 60 days of hospitalization. At minimum room rates, that would be a "deductible" of at least $12,000. The $3 billion-a-year plan would be financed entirely by employers. Long wants the plan to be fully enacted as soon as possible...
Congress completed the debacle by yielding to parochial interests and finally shrinking fearfully from anything that might restrict driving.

But it does not require much training in the "dismal science" to realize that the more South Africa restricts the right of foreign investors to manage and dispose of their assets, the less attractive investment in that country becomes. To restrict unreasonably the freedom of investors to repatriate the profits of their existing operations constitutes expropriation and de facto nationalization of those operations. Multinational capital has never been known to view...
