...group of others belonged to a privileged caste. We were envied by the "provincials," who frequently spent their entire careers in Africa and Asia. Not only was this an unattractive fate because of the unpleasant climates, low salaries and lack of consumer goods, but diplomats assigned to these areas seldom advanced to senior positions...
...through his trusted public affairs assistant, Ann McLaughlin. (McLaughlin, now Interior Department Under Secretary, is a leading candidate to become Regan's deputy at the White House.) While Regan can turn on his gruff charm and provide as lively an interview as anyone else in the Administration, he is seldom inclined to do so.

In the interim, of course, the Clubs have reacted to the University's pressure by indicating their willingness to sever all ties. In that sense, the issue is moot; Mr. Stevens has triumphed; the College is pure. Still, the wisdom of Harvard's action remains in question, so there may be interest in continuing the debate...
