...your query, I believe we have the relocation problem squarely under control. For a mere several million (or so my cousin Willy the real estate man assures me) Harvard can purchase some of the choicest acreage available in North Dakota. The plan, as we conceive it, is to construct a new community closely modelled on Cambridge--to be called "Pusey Bluffs." The residents in question will be flown all-expenses-paid, non-stop-direct to Bismarck, with fortnightly bus connections to Yellowstocking, and bimonthly sand-buggy service to Pusey Bluffs...
...devastate the second argument. It takes a considerable amount of time, about five or six years, to test and deploy any ABM system. Because of the complexity of the system, an ABM system is not something the Soviets could erect and use without ample time for the U.S. to construct a similar defense. We seem to have learned quickly about the system the Soviets were deploying around MosCow. Assuming the CIA is equally efficient in discovering a nationwide deployment of an ABM system by the Soviets, we would not be subject, as General Johnson thinks, to "that Soviet nuclear blackmail...
...unacceptably disruptive impact on the surrounding community. By its nature Harvard attracts to Cambridge many individuals and industries. Through the operation of supply and demand, this continuing influx has resulted in a severe housing shortage and a dramatic rise in rents. The University's failure to construct more housing has seriously exacerbated the situation. More importantly, it is also clear that Harvard's expansion policies have caused genuine hardships for the community. The fact that some individuals have benefited from this process in no way relieve Harvard of its obligations toward those who are hurt...
First Attack. Therefore, Laird concluded, the Soviets have done more than construct a missile system restricted to retaliation in case the U.S. strikes first. They have gone on to build missiles that can only be intended to render the U.S. incapable of responding to a Soviet attack-which means that they propose to make the first attack themselves. "There is no question about that," said Laird...
Working in groups of up to twelve, the Rondónists gave medical help and teaching assistance, provided engineering expertise, formed cooperatives to make bricks and build roads. In 38 communities in the Jequitinhonha valley, the teams taught 52 hygiene courses, helped construct 300 septic tanks, pulled 30,000 teeth and administered vaccine shots to 150,000 persons. At an abandoned road-construction camp in north-central Brazil, one crew even started a town called Vila Rondón that now boasts a new school and other municipal services for 5,000 people...
