...issue has become how to keep secrets rather than how to preserve freedom," said Idaho Democrat Frank Church, the disheartened chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Though exaggerated, Church's complaint reflected the growing gloom in Congress over the Senate and House investigations of the CIA, FBI and other U.S. undercover agencies. The probe has been discredited by the inability of many Congressmen and their staffers to keep a secret. Result: there is as much worry over leaks as there is over the abuses that were leaked...
Critics' Complaint. Liberal critics note disapprovingly that the CEA report forecasts a 6% inflation in 1977 as well as in 1976, and that that would represent hardly any improvement over the 6.2% annual rate at which consumer prices rose in December (the increase during 1975, December to December, was 7%, down from 12.2% in 1974). "That is the most depressing feature," says Arthur Okun, a member of TIME's Board of Economists. "What are we buying with this moderation of recovery?" The liberals argue that the nation could afford faster growth with little if any more inflation...
...determined to make her treatment at the GSD a test case against "old boy" hiring practices at Harvard that she believes discriminate against minorities and women.

"We didn't feel she was discriminated against because of her sex; the problems in this case were more personal." From...
Napoli says that when she wrote that letter, almost two years before she brought her complaint against Harvard, she was a "very scared graduate student. I hadn't published anything, I had no self-confidence; I only had Della Terza as a judge." Now an assistant professor of linguistics at Georgetown University, and with twelve published articles under her belt, Napoli remembers that "the idea of being humble and insignificant before a great professor is typical of female graduate students at Harvard. For a long time after I left Harvard, I asked myself, 'Do I have illusions about myself...
Steiner says he doubts the EEOC will find probable cause for Napoli's complaint, but if it does, she and the University will be given a chance to make a voluntary settlement. Steiner will not speculate what sort of an agreement they might reach. Napoli's husband wrote the Commission that Harvard could redress his wife's grievance by revoking the contested appointment and hiring Napoli, or by creating another assistant professorship for her, or by awarding her compensation for the difference between her earnings and the salary she would have made in the five-year Harvard appointment.
