This has been all to the advantage of the monocled and aloof interim President. Spinola, relaxing for the past few weeks in a thermal resort north of Lisbon, has managed to play a deft political game via long distance. His primary bid has been for greater presidential powers, including the dismantlement of the A.F.M. and a declaration of a state of siege to deal with economic problems...
...hours earlier, the East Room had been the setting for Richard Nixon's farewell speech to his Cabinet and the White House staff.

Going through the more than 50 pages of maps and graphs in the interim report, it is apparent that Harvard faces serious problems with many of its antiquated utility systems, particularly sewage, steam and water lines. By earmarking certain areas for certain potentials Harvard is bound to arouse suspicion and ire; in outlining specific altternatives toes are sure to be stepped on and many individual domains interfered with...
