...private. In the United Nations, the U.S. joined the other 14 members of the Security Council in unanimously condemning Israel in the harshest of diplomatic terms for its "premeditated military action in violation of its obligations under the charter and the cease-fire resolutions." To Israel's understandable chagrin, the resolution failed to mention the Athens attack. Pope Paul VI sent a sympathetic message to Lebanese President Charles Helou, "deploring violent acts" and asking Lebanon to refrain from taking countermeasures...

...ROTC has had any adverse effect upon Harvard faculty members it would have to be of their own choosing. If at all, ill effects would seem most likely to stem from the disappointment and chagrin faculty members might feel when impressionable, idealistic young Americans within their sphere of influence are observed to throw away their citizenship and ruin their lives by fleeing the country to avoid the draft. Harvard suffered some very bad national publicity--completely unwarranted and undeserved in my judgment--a few months ago when it was made to appear that a majority of Harvard men would take...

Franklin Field will be crowded today. If my Ivy favorites, the Tigers are going to reverse last week's humiliation by Colgate, they are going to have to play quite well. Penn has found out what it's like to win, and much to my chagrin, will shock the old guard in a wild...

Much to the chagrin of the De Gaulle government, which was caught by surprise when Chrysler took over faltering Simca in 1963, a French solution for Citroën's problem seems remote. Bercot insists that his company will "not fall under Fiat control"-"but what he has negotiated is not too far short of a Fiat takeover. According to the reported agreement, Fiat will buy a 30% interest in Citroën, presumably from the tiremaking Michelin family, which holds 56% of Citroën. Fiat would then reduce Citroën's dangerous $100 million-plus...
