Harvard can do nothing to stop Cambridge from claiming the land; it can, however, go to court to demand more than the $480,000 the city will offer for the field. Basing its claim on later appraisals, the University could sue for as much...

In 1979 the median starting salary of women with a bachelor's degree in chemistry was $15,600, compared with $15,000 for men. For women who specialized in chemical engineering, the median...
...sharp color prints while one looked at them. After some initial start-up problems with the SX-70, the mass-market One-Step and Pronto models were smash successes. In 1978 the company was manufacturing 30,000 OneSteps a day.
