...however, doesn't mean that individual professors can't do classified work for the government. And as long as a professor fulfills his commitments to his students and colleagues, he is free to do what he wants with his remaining time--and this could include analyzing documents for the Central Intelligence Agency or helping to plan bombing raids into North Vietnam. Except for prohibiting teachers from abusing students, the University places few restrictions on the use of its facilities. In fact, most Faculty members who do classified work would defend their right to do so by invoking "academic freedom...
...Even in a business with more mavericks than most, Ashland is a curious operation. Organized in 1924 by Paul Blazer, late uncle of the present chairman, it expanded backward.

"I believe that we're fighting for America, so that people like you will be free to hand out leaflets," said a patient old man in a straw...
...faces on next year's Committee will probably be Daniel J. Clinton and David A. Wylie. Clinton, who has just missed election twice before drew heavily on the central Cambridge votes that used to go to Committeeman George F. Olesen. And Wylie, one of nine candidates endorsed by the CCA, wooed support from the same constituency that elected Committeewoman Barbara Ackermann who this year ran for the Council...
