Harvard will pay those completing the training program "the pay for journeymen painters fixed by the applicable collective bargaining agreement." The students had asked that the pay be "com-parable to that received by outside contracted painters."

Universities almost always pay their maintenance crews less than outside rates, the statement said...
There is little agreement on the best way to restructure local government, and Moynihan vacillates accordingly. The metropolitan sprawl, he recognizes, has made it "difficult to collect power in one place." This leads him at first to espouse annexing the suburbs. Later on, he opts for community control and decentralization.

Instead of conserving political energies, Moynihan seems to suggest that reformers pursue all these goals simultaneously...

These bases will be subject to the terms of the U.S.-Japanese Mutual Cooperation and Security Treaty, which forbids the U.S. to deploy nuclear weapons without the approval of the Japanese. The U.S. will remove its nuclear weapons from the island before Japan takes control. If the Viet Nam war is not ended by then, the U.S. reserved the option to ask Tokyo's permission to fly combat support missions from Okinawa...
