Scornful. Further, the State Department has set up new, formidably titled Interim Grievance Procedures, the first major amendment to the Foreign Service Act since it was passed in 1946.

The mayor immediately concurred with my observations, affirming his responsibility for every agency of the city government...

A subsequent provision included such an offense, and four students were convicted last June of harassing Sargent Kennedy '28 secretary to the Corporation...
