...ANNOUNCEMENT by the Kennedy Library Corp. this week that it will probably build the JFK archives and museum at the University of Massachusetts represents a collosal failure of the Bok administration's policy toward the project. As a result, Harvard has lost what could have been an exciting educational addition, the JFK archives, and is left with elaborate plans--but no site--for a $10 million political science complex...
...long time opposed construction of the Kennedy museum in Cambridge but endorsed the location of the archives here. President Bok, however, steadfastly refused to criticize (or for that matter say anything about) the desirability of the tourist-drawing museum, preferring instead to defer all criticism to the Kennedy Library Corp.

The wedge would be the estimated 16% of Chrysler's 59 million shares held by union...
DANIEL ELLSBERG, 44, former Rand Corp. consultant who made the Pentagon papers public: "All the commentators seem to have emphasized the tragedy, humiliation and sadness of all this. I think it was somewhat perverse to react only to that aspect of the events at the moment when the war was finally coming gloriously to a conclusion. It was the will of the American people, expressed to Congress, that ended this war now. That's the best possible celebration of the Bicentennial of the American Revolution that I can imagine...
