Marilyn Gittell, an associate professor of political science at the City University of New York, has prepared an extensive study advocating the division of New York City into five separate borough systems. Still others call for establishing educational parks, vast autonomous centers of education where whole districts would be educated under one roof. "We're all interested in decentralization," says Walter L. Hill, a tall sunburnt architect and lecturer on Education and Urban Planning at the Ed School. "It's the vogue...

The CRIMSON declared: "When the time for quick action comes Harvard will be ready and the undergraduates duty will be an immediate and unflinching response to the call." Meanwhile, one professor in the German Department published a letter in the CRIMSON, claiming that the German people were at war because the "great aggressive coalition" of England and France had committed "outrageous acts" against...

...Visitors at the show flocked to a huge mock-up of the 13.6-ton Proton satellite, which the Russians call a scientific-research vehicle. Space experts who examined the mock-up last week were reasonably certain, however, that the Proton is a prototype of one of the sections of a manned orbital-reconnaissance vehicle or even of a lunar landing craft that will be assembled in orbit before heading to the moon. The Proton on display in Paris consists of an 8-ft -diameter core section surrounded by a 14.8-ft.-diameter outer shell that could contain instrumentation and life...
