...first dustup occurred in Iowa, where the Democratic presidential candidates were appearing at a Jefferson-Jackson dinner for party activists. John Glenn set the tone by suggesting that Walter Mondale had been slavishly catering to a wide array of special-interest groups in his quest for the party's presidential nomination. "Will we offer a party that can't say no to anyone with a letterhead and a mailing list?" the Ohio Senator asked. When Mondale's turn came, he pushed aside his prepared text and zeroed in on his opponent's vote in favor...
...basic problem is predictability. In an effort to constantly remind the audience that this play is a comedy in spite of serious themes, director James Pentecost creates an array of comic types rather than individuals. Lenny, for example, try convince us that she is old and that life is passing her by, repeatedly draws out each of her lines, but the result seems more like a six-year-old whining.

And so far, discouragingly little progress has been made in the 22 months since the inception of the INF parleys...
...Harvard leverages its balance sheet," explains Cabot of these obscure but low-risk strategies. But he insists that the Management Company's array of unconventional investments will always represent only a minor portion of the endowment. Harvard's search for new fiduciary outlets is done, he says, in the hope that one or two will develop into lucrative but prudent resources. This appears to be the case with real estate, venture capital, and to an extent, the options program. Other ventures, like stock lending, have bottomed out, and Harvard has ignored some areas--oil rights, foreign stocks, commodities--altogether...
