...contract before the Corporation at its next meeting. This issue is not entirely separable from the views of the University toward our research in general. Therefore, I am taking this opportunity to bring to the attention of you and the members of the Corporation some of the cogent matters associated with our work. By this means, I hope to prevent the broader issues from being totally submerged beneath the myriad lesser decisions (e.g., my contract) which have to date constituted Harvard's official "position" and expressed concern...
...legalistic implications of its membership clause, but the effect the group will have upon the concrete educational experience of an important number of undergraduates--whether it will, in fact, lead to social evil within the Harvard community. The Association's representatives have not, so far, presented any cogent, rationally outlined arguments to this point. Barring the explicit adoption of an across-the-board laissez-faire policy of University recognition, perhaps the College authorities should hold the AAAA charter in abeyance until the club's representatives have clarified their position on this question...

Three extracts, although slightly vague when presented out of context, will show its tenor...
...criticism that the subjects used have abnormal tendencies in the first place can receive a similar answer. If the investigators are trying to study the behavior of normal people under drugs, the criticism is cogent, and in this case, probably damning. If the investigators intend to apply the drugs to help the psychologically abnormal, then they have picked an appropriate population for experimenting. They should, however, take more care to establish what kind of subjects they have; on this, their reports are again vague...
...conference in San Francisco, steering through U.S. policy on the Congo operation, U.N. financing, and the election of U Thant-and doing it mostly in quiet, off-camera discussions. In U.N. speeches, Stevenson's eloquence has been an effective weapon. A year ago, he gave perhaps the most cogent speech to date, explaining why the U.S. opposes the seating of a Red China regime that behaves "in a fashion recalling the early authoritarian emperors of China.'' During the Angola and Goa debates, Stevenson made clear U.S. opposition to colonialism and aggression, reminded delegates that the Communist world...
