Except for a change to a stiffer and longer pole, his style has remained more or less constant, although the Eliot House senior did have to make some adjustments since the short runway in Brigg's Cage cut more than 35 feet off his approach...
...letter on "the ethical responsibilities of the university in society" is a dismal flash-back to medieval times, when colleges were walled fortresses, isolated from society. Bok would have us spring to the battlements, caldrons of boiling oil at the ready, whenever society's political turmoil and moral conflicts approach the gates...
Quite clearly, no single approach is going to be sufficient. U.S. policy must combine economic and technical aid with some military flag showing and perhaps even covert operations, offering friendship to some governments that are not now especially receptive, trying to induce cooperative regimes to be more concerned about and responsive to social unrest. That will be an exquisitely difficult policy to carry out. As several panelists noted, the U.S., under the best of circumstances, may suffer some further losses. But given enough will, patience and ingenuity, the U.S. has the strength to safeguard its vital interests in the crescent...
...powerful magnetic field and coming within 278,000 km (172,400 miles) of the Jovian cloud tops. Back at Caltech's Jet Propulsion Lab, controllers waited breathlessly to see whether the plucky robot would survive that dangerous encounter. But even before Voyager 1 made its closest approach on Monday, the 826 kg (1,820 lb.) unmanned spacecraft sent home a trove of new findings about Jupiter, including evidence that its atmosphere is even more violent than anyone supposed.

On its closest approach, Voyager will come within 18,800 km (11,650 miles) of this mysterious moon. Then, as Voyager sweeps away, its instruments will get glimpses of the other Jovian moons, perhaps even a tiny 14th moon, which was spotted several years...
