Breckenfeld came by his expertise in environmental problems through his long association with two former Time Inc. magazines, Architectural Forum and House & Home.

In 1954, he went to work full-time for House & Home and rose to become managing editor before its sale in 1964. Next step was TIME, where he specializes in economic affairs.

Ronald Janis moans about how Collins will upset the applicant and bring down repression on our heads. Surprise, surprise! In California, college radicals have their phones tapped and play dangerous games with plainclothes cops on campus. At Harvard we had Paine Hall and bursars cards. The CRIMSON editorializes about the sacrosanctity of Harvard education, as Soc Rel 149 is being attacked prelude to phasing out, despite its huge enrollment.
