...CAMPUS ACTIVITIES: A lot has been said in the press about the FBI swarming onto the campuses. The FBI is not on any campus. A Princeton professor blamed me for having agents on the campus, and he even called me a bastard. I wrote him that the FBI never goes on a campus except to investigate bombings of federally funded buildings, and while I do not indulge in vulgarity, I called him a liar. It's an absolute lie. Of course, most students think we shouldn't go on unless they invite us. They can have as many...
...committee vote was Senator Fred Harris of Oklahoma, a very dark-horse Democratic aspirant for a 1972 presidential nomination. Harris, after steadfastly supporting the measure for months, voted against it. A Health, Education and Welfare Department official saw pure politics in Harris' switch, calling him that "goddamned bastard" who "just couldn't stand the idea of Richard Nixon getting credit for this bill."

While the Faculty Council keeps debating the issue of granting academic credit to the HRO, more and more players find that they cannot afford the time to perform with the Orchestra. If music dies at Harvard, it may be because the Faculty really didn't want it in the first...
...business should be run. The president, who had been a close friend, referred Tom to North. At first Tom hesitated to accept any help. "Let's be realistic," North told him. "You got fired, and he [the president] is willing to pay for my program. Let the bastard pay." Tom agreed, but initially he objected to undergoing psychological testing. "I suppose you're going to tell me how good my boss was to me," he argued. Tom's attitude began to change when the psychologist, playing job interviewer, sharply asked how a new employer could be sure...
