...dispute about this. The question remains whether the right kind of pressure was presented by the battle for Hamburger Hill: a costly fight for a piece of real estate that was to be abandoned before the blood had hardly dried on it. There are U.S. officers who will privately admit that, given hindsight, Ap Bia should have been handled differently. Perhaps, they say, the 101st moved up too close before ascertaining how many Communists were dug in atop the mountain. Perhaps the peak should have been more thoroughly blasted by air and artillery bombardment before the soldiers assaulted...
...caught in a financial squeeze which means it must accept largely people who can pay for their education now and can support the University in the future. But the long discussion of finances which followed--showed that Harvard is not poor at all. It does not need to admit people who it feels will support it in the future, i.e., preppies. It does not need to raise its fees $400 next year. In fact, in his full article Labaree argues that Harvard's endowment, far from forcing constant fee increases, could withstand complete and permanent elimination of student fees...
Second, the University does not know what it "costs to educate" the average student. Their tuition figure is not based on any such figure.

Although astronomers admit that they are still novices at short-range solar prediction, they can issue one long-range forecast with some certainty. About 5 billion years from now, they calculate, the sun will have used up the hydrogen fuel in its core. It will then begin burning hydrogen in its outer layers and gradually expand-perhaps to 100 times its present size-turning into a giant red globe that will fill most of the sky when seen from earth. Unfortunately, man will not be around to see this spectacular view. The expanding sun will boil away the oceans, melt...
