-------------------------------------------------------------------------

And in Boston, Massachusetts, Harvard University and dining hall workers
say they've reached a tentative deal in ongoing contract negotiations,
after hundreds of Harvard University students staged a sit-in Monday in
the lobby where Harvard's negotiations with the cafeteria workers' union
was taking place. The dining hall workers have been on strike for more
than 20 days to demand affordable healthcare and an average salary of
$35,000 a year. Harvard's endowment is over $35 billion.
