...Visitors. The FAA sends plainclothes "sky marshals" along on Miami-bound flights selected at random, and no flight with an FAA man aboard has yet been skyjacked-but there is little that a lawman could do to prevent plane piracy without increasing the already considerable danger to all on board. In any case, putting marshals aboard the hundreds of flights daily that might be skyjacked would be prohibitively costly. The wildest potential remedies include a trap door that would drop the skyjacker into the blue yonder at the push of a button, or hidden circuits that would stun him with...
Because of your involvement in the obstruction at Paine Hall of the faculty's scheduled meeting on the 12th of December, 1968, the Administrative Board of this School has voted to sever your connection with the School.

Morevoer, particular circumstances in the country at this time make the Ad Board judgment appear in a large and sinister light. Repression of dissent is now national policy by virtue of the "ant-riot" provisions in Public Laws 90-550, 90-557, and Sec. 504 of Public Law 90-575. Is Harvard in any way to grant support for such dangerous policy? There seems at the moment every reason to believe that in issues far greater in scope and significance than the one at hand, Harvard's administration and faculty will act not only to support, but to further such...
