...were to go to his wife Carolyn, also a lawyer, if she survived him. The services he or his widow were to perform were spelled out only vaguely in his case. He had intended, he told Warren, to "help shape" the program and activities of the foundation, whose stated aim was to further racial and religious harmony. There was no explanation of Mrs. Fortas' role. While Fortas denied interceding for Wolfson with any Government agency, he did admit to receiving from Wolfson letters about the financier's business problems. At week's end, it was revealed that...
Defense Secretary Melvin Laird had staked the Administration's case on the contention that the Russians aim to achieve nuclear supremacy. He maintained that they will have the capability by the mid-'70s to jeopardize the American power to retaliate against a first strike.

I can only ask that the public outside the universities recognize that the present problem is deep and difficult, and entreat their legislators not to seek to effect correction by hasty enactments which cannot reach to the root of the difficulty and will in all probability only spread the discontent...
