...independent corporation, Radcliffe applies separately for federal financial aid programs to support undergraduate women. In 1977-78, Radcliffe bumbled its management of work-study funds, and women in severe financial straits watched relatively well-off Harvard men take the work-study jobs. Radcliffe eventually negotiated a transfer of work-study funds from Harvard to Radcliffe coffers without jeopardizing the school's independent status, supposedly crucial for other grant eligibility. But some undergraduate women knew only that they could not get work study money because they were women...
Since financial considerations play a large role in President Bok's ruminations on investment policies, we may ultimately be able to begin to affect these policies through 'economic sanctions.' The 'Stephen Biko Memorial Fund is hardly a reasonable option for us: the University can easily transfer funds it would have used for these students' scholarships to other areas, and educating a few carefully selected blacks would probably provide their brothers little relief from the economic and moral degradations of apartheid. This program might be useful if few or no South African blacks now attend Harvard and if there would...
Egyptian and Israeli officers worked amicably together in negotiating the fine points of the transfer of authority over El Arish. "It's easy for each side to get along with each other," said Egyptian Brigadier General Hassan Abdel Fatah. "Some of the Israelis are from Arab countries, and they speak fluent Arabic."

Jarvis, once described as "a steady, virile race with a marked propensity for hard work but an extraordinarily crooked, suspicious outlook on life generally." One departing Israeli official noted sarcastically that the biggest Egyptian flags in El Arish last week were flying from...
...integration battles of the '60s were opened again. With some evidence, a number of people believed the board had favored keeping schools open in predominantly white neighborhoods, placing an unfair burden on the black and integrated neighborhoods. Adding to the pain was the board's decision to transfer the nationally acclaimed Martin Luther King Jr. Laboratory School, which draws the best students from all over the district, to another building and sell the old Foster School building, which for more than 60 years had been the focal point of black community activity. The N.A.A.C.P. is preparing a suit...
