...does not literally control the decisions reached by the board, it is capable of exerting a lion's share of influence on any given matter--indeed, on any legal matter at all--simply by virtue of the quality and quantity of its legal know-how. Daniel Steiner '54, general counsel to the University, and the law firm of Ropes and Gray, working in tandem on the District 65 case, provided a seemingly airtight defense for the University--one which the regional board apparently took so seriously that it chose to quote the Harvard brief at length in its final decision...
...things work in UHall. The set-up contrasts greatly with the organization across the Yard. President Bok's Massachusetts Hall administrators have made their mark somewhere else: Stephen S.J. Hall, recently resigned as administrative vice president, in corporate business, Financial Vice President Hale Champion in public finance, General Counsel Daniel Steiner '54 in government, Charles U. Daly, vice president for government and community affairs, in politics. With the possible exception of Steiner, these men are at Harvard for only a few years.

...another job. That was all right, but the upshot was that her original request was pared down through negotiation to about half what she wanted.

The dean of the College has a mass of deans and assistant deans under him, often formally repeating functions that are limited to housing, counseling and disciplinary groups like the Administrative Board. Budget cuts, which Faculty academic departments suffered through in the last few years, didn't fall heavily on the College dean's office...
...short term, barring miscalculation, continued U.S. brokerage is likely to prevent such a war. Along with their internal problems that counsel against renewed fighting, Arabs and Israelis alike know the U.S. is too hamstrung by its presidential election this year to assert the leadership necessary to produce new momentum in lieu of war. But 1977 will be the year of the crunch. Israel is fearful-and the Arabs hopeful-of heavy postelection pressure on Jerusalem to withdraw from occupied territories. Beset by unrest on the West Bank, a faltering economy and a bitterly divided leadership, Israel could find such pressure...
