...oriented presidents like Abbott Lawrence Lowell, particularly if on poor terms with an inherited dean, have tended to restrict the dean's authority. James Bryant Conant, on the other hand, after a decade as president, decided he was not so interested in the College; he virtually gave Dean Paul Buck a free hand in all University matters...
...Conant's successor, Nathan Pusey, Harvard acquired a president who by background was concerned more with undergraduate education than with speaking tours. The appointment of McGeorge Bundy as dean--a candidate apparently urged upon Pusey by the outgoing Buck--made it difficult for the new president to influence College matters.

Last week, at the urging of her ABC packagers ("They thought the show needed a little goosing-up"), Virginia introduced her first male panelist, David Merrick. The show bombed (Merrick was positively fatuous), and at its close, Virginia asked for a mail-in referendum on further gentlemen callers...
