WALTER J. LEONARD'S bleak report on Harvard's affirmative action program shows just how little progress the University has made toward fulfilling its legal and moral responsibility to minorities and women. His condemnation is one more sign of the shallowness of Harvard's commitment to a diverse community open to all segments of society. As Leonard says in the report. "Not only have we not progressed a great deal since October 1971 (both statistically and attitudinally), but I fear we have moved back-ward from that date." It took three years for the University to work out an affirmative...
...Bleak Alternative. Kissinger must also worry about the future of the U.N. peacekeeping and observer forces on both the Sinai and the Golan Heights, although this is not his main concern. Israel complains that the forces are ineffective. It also objects to the present requirement that the mandate must be renewed every six months, which automatically creates negotiating crises. Rabin's government would prefer a change in the U.N. mandate to make the Security Council ultimately responsible for terminating the observer forces; among other things, this would allow the U.S. to veto any proposal for withdrawing troops...
...placid blue of the Persian Gulf. One reason: the treasure is deep. Oilmen must drop their rigging 400 to 600 ft. beneath turbulent waves then drill another 8,000 to 12,000 ft. beneath the sea floor (see diagram). And North Sea weather is worse than bleak. Last month a crew member on a British Petroleum rig was swept into the sea in an icy storm; his death was the 43rd since drilling began...
...last the economists did manage to have the budget reflect their thinking. Their pressure led to the publication in the budget of the bleak five-year economic projections, which starkly underscore the need for yet more stimulus. Though the worst of the tempest is probably over, there is no doubt that the CEA can use whatever help new members can bring. Under the Employment Act of 1946, which created the Council, its chief function is to advise the President on how best to hold down unemployment...
...meeting of TIME's Board of Economists has surveyed so bleak an economic horizon as that confronting our experts last week. While the economists jetted to Manhattan from St. Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis and Washington, President Ford's budget and the grim economic message accompanying it were being released to Congress and the press. Ford's predictions of continuing high inflation, falling production and three years of at least 7% unemployment amply fulfilled Board members' December forecast of the worst slump since the 1940s. Not surprisingly, the Administration's economy and energy policies stirred a sharp...
