...estimating giving capacities and preparing their peers for the final solicitation letter. In spring 1981, Maine will be among the first of the target areas. Three hundred volunteer alumni will form class committees and train themselves in the fine art of fundraising. After several meetings, the volunteers will sponsor a dinner, in an attempt to clinch other area alumni gifts. Each alumnus in the Bangor area will receive a formal case statement on the drive--and then a donation envelope. The whole process should take about six months, Boardman says, adding that virtually the same agenda will be followed...

Other banks reward friendly persuasion with grandfather clocks, microwave ovens and electric organs...

The extent to which he might associate himself with dissident movements trying to subvert the South African government, either from outside or inside, is going to be of very great importance. But it would obviously be unwise and foolish of South Africa to sponsor a subversive action against Mugabe. This [type of suggestion] is merely the sort of militant noise that Mugabe apparently believes would favorably affect his image...
