...vote on the SST, proponents clung to a single hope, wispy as a contrail, of keeping the aircraft from crashing. Their head count showed 49 Senators against the plane, 47 for it, two absent and two wavering: Maine's Margaret Chase Smith and Kentucky's John Sherman Cooper. If Richard Nixon could land those two Republicans, the SST might yet take off. Vice President Spiro Agnew stood ready to cast a tie-breaking vote to continue the aircraft's funding...
...women, and images of women, have almost always dominated the product that emerged. The great mythic stars-those very useful icons that provide most of the depth of industry movies-are for the most part women. Big male stars (Gable and Bogart, Wayne, Cooper, and Grant) usually last longer in the front ranks, for all the obvious and repulsive reasons. But few of them ever provide the somewhat metaphysical definition of their movies: Bogart did-and Brando for a spell-and certainly John Wayne has defined the Western more than anyone, perhaps, except Ford and Hawks.

Professor John Cooper and your editorialist Michael Ryan berate Harvard for entertaining the Greek Minister Nikitias Sioris as a guest. They are right about the character of the Greek regime. But as to the question of courtesy, a different principle is involved. Would they protest equally if the Soviet Minister of Education came as a guest? Yet the regime is equally repressive. What one should show is the open character of the American campus. That is the principle of freedom. Bring on the guests, and bring on the pickets, too. The latter have their rights. But keep an open campus...
