...high-flown idealism, the junior Senator from New York stumped the Republic of South Africa last week as if he were the last surviving custodian of the white man's burden. At one stop, an enthusiastic crowd knocked him off the roof of a car, but Robert F. Kennedy hardly missed a comma. "I believe there will be progress," he exhorted the residents of Soweto, a black ghetto near Johannesburg. "Hate and bigotry will end in South Africa one day. I believe your children will have a better opportunity than you did." Unaccustomed to such solicitude from a white...
...part, Kennedy shook every hand in sight-white, black and brown (and on one occasion scared the daylights out of a black who thought the big bwana was going to hit him). In Durban, Kennedy stood atop a car and sang We Shall Overcome with his audience. In Groutville, he visited Albert Luthuli, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and leader of the proscribed African National Congress.

Some times the University has encountered some vocal opposition and delay but when the roll call has come the votes have always been there. This was not always the case. "Back in the thirties," recalls one politician "the University just didn't have the votes...
...Harvard-M.I.T. Joint Center for Urban Studies gets $1.4 million, all of it from the Ford Foundation. Timothy Leary is arrested at the Mexican border when customs officials find five ounces (later three ounces; then possibly less than half an ounce) of marijuana in his car. The Ed School adopts almost all the proposals its faculty committee put forward in September. An expedition co-sponsored by the Peabody Museum discovers two 10,000-year-old Indian huts in Hell Gap, Wyo. They are the oldest known houses in the Western hemisphere...
