...owes to Miller. Though he attempted to say how much in a long article published in the 1964 issue of the Harvard Review which commemmorated the latter's death, the article and his conversations make it clear that he does not consider himself qualified to judge. "It's too close," he says. "I still consider it Perry's business as well as mine, and for that reason I dislike speaking about it." The pair will probably never be untangled, intellectually or emotionally. They were, it seems, two great friends who also happened to be a father and son. One imagines...
...change. For the first time ever the New York Times had stationed a man in Cambridge. Robert Reinhold was ostensibly writing about the academic community in general, but in fact he would up covering Harvard. The Globe upgraded its correspondentship.

Although half the women were less than 20 years old when they had their first child, close to a third had no other children. Nearly half the mothers were not on welfare at the time the survey was made; only one-third had been on public assistance for a year or longer. And as for blatant immorality, the statistical evidence, although not clear-cut, points the other...
...writer, Fielding seems to have kept his integrity. He spends $60,000 a year of his own money on traveling, insists that he has never accepted a free plane ticket. There are seven European hotels in which Fielding allows himself to stay without paying because the operator is a close friend and would otherwise be offended. He makes up for that by overtipping: during a two-day sojourn at Madrid's Palace Hotel, managed by Alfonso Font, he gave away $130 in gratuities...
