...college, the student and the professor have a contract. The student studies and the professor teaches. Sexual harassment grossly violates this contract. Every university and college has the responsibility of eliminating this problem immediately...
...main problem in resolving the U.S.-Iran crisis has been the absence in Tehran of any official able to negotiate with authority. For a while this seemed to be still the case last week. Banisadr told Le Monde, the Paris daily, that the release of the American hostages was no longer linked to the return of the deposed Shah, and that "it would suffice that the U.S. admits its responsibilities and resolves never again to interfere in our affairs." This was soon contradicted by Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh, who was in Athens on an official visit. There he declared that...
...Aden, about 625 miles north of the Somali capital of Mogadishu. In 1977 Somalia's mercurial President Mohamed Siad Barre threw out several thousand of Moscow's advisers after the Kremlin opted for neighboring Ethiopia as its principal client on the Horn of Africa.

His advice: "Stay a reasonable distance away. If the heat is intense enough to cause discomfort, that is too close." He further...

Now comes a report in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association urging doctors to take a closer look at the patient's physical condition. Endocrinologist Richard Spark of Boston's Beth Israel Hospital writes that the problem in many cases is medical, not mental. Using sensitive radioimmunoassay techniques that can pick up infinitesimal levels of hormones in the blood, Dr. Spark and his team studied 105 impotent men, aged 18 to 75. They found that 35% of the men had previously overlooked disorders of the endocrine system...
