This week, that same group of University officials will gather again to assess the dilemma that Harvard and other universities are facing. If there really is "no crisis at this point"--as Robin Schmidt, vice president for government and community affairs, explained last week--then there are at least problems. The number of experiments in Harvard's medical schools and at nearby Harvard-affiliated hospitals that produce hazardous wastes are soaring. Both federal and state lawmakers have regulations on the drawing board which could exacerbate an already-tense situation. The costs of shipping and storing wastes are rapidly increasing, while...
Occasionally Pavarotti will gather a few guests into his gray Mercedes for the two-hour drive to Modena. There, in the cobbled square in front of the city's handsome Romanesque cathedral, he is greeted familiarly as "Luciano" by seemingly hundreds of old friends and schoolmates, and as "Signor Tenore" by everyone else. His father, 65, still sings in the church choir and local chorus-and now enjoys the status of a recording artist, thanks to a few small roles on Pavarotti's albums. Both parents will join the Pavarotti ménage soon. Luciano plans to settle...
According to U.S. intelligence sources, the brigade occupies barracks in two locations in Cuba, one of which is near a Soviet-built and Soviet-run electronics information-gathering installation.

He says he was ordered to kidnap Dan Flanagan, who owns the chain of Blarney Stone bars in Manhattan, and hold him for ransom. He told the I.R.A. that he had agreed only to gather intelligence on Flanagan. Then McMullen heard that the I.R.A. planned to send a squad from Belfast to kill him, and he went into hiding...
Hard up for cash, banks are willing to try just about anything to attract deposits. Some, like New York's Manhattan Savings Bank, are gemutlich meeting places where savers gather in the lobby to hear pianists play golden oldies. Others, like California's Crocker National Bank, have sought to humanize their temple-of-commerce image by handing out Teddy bears. Robert Klein, a marketing consultant to 15 banks in the West, reports that his savings-starved clients have given away 23,000 color television sets in the past three years and 650 mopeds in the past 90 days...
