...John F. Kennedy Memorial Library will be built on the last large piece of undeveloped real estate in Harvard Square, the MBTA's Bennett St. repair yards, which will be relocated. Once completed, the Library is expected to attract hundreds of thousands of tourists a year. And the City administration is now talking seriously about plans for redeveloping other parts of Harvard Square...
Military pay should be increased sufficiently to attract, in the absence of hostilities, at least two and one-half million men. There is no magic in this figure. It corresponds to what, a few years ago, was acknowledged to be the approximate "peacetime" level of the armed forces, less one or two hundred thousand that we believe might be replaced by civilian employees during the coming years. Nobody can exactly estimate the pay scale required to reach this goal; but pay scales must be set with some goal in mind, and this should be the goal...
...closest to the center is the one containing the musical Leviathans: The Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra, the Harvard University Band and the Harvard Glee Club (with its somewhat dependent satellite the Radcliffe Choral Society).

They are the only musical organizations enjoying anything like official status. Like all extracurricular activity here, they receive no operating support from the University, but their conductors are appointed and paid by the University...
...organized and conducted entirely by students. It is a chamber-sized group, usually performing music suited to its dimensions and wisely refraining from competing with the much larger HRO on its own terms. Nonetheless, it does have to draw from the same pool of musicians and attempt to attract the same audience, and is constantly struggling to maintain itself alongside the more prestigious HRO. When the HRO is up, the BSO is down and vice versa. Since the advent of James Yannatos as conductor of the HRO, the Bach Society has had to play underdog...
Although Yearbook 331 characterized Leverett House as home base of Harvard's musical Establishment, there really is no musical Establishment. Instead, there are five to a dozen groups competing for the privilege. The Glee Club is as much a final club as a music-making organization. The HRO cannot attract many of the best instrumentalists who maintain that their time is better spent practicing privately than rehearsing with the orchestra. By now the "Harvard-Radcliffe" Orchestra has adopted a policy of beefing itself up with players from other colleges and from the conservatories...
