They "may be in a condition similar to Karen's and you can terminate their lives...
...when Harvard officialdom tried to encourage students not to register to vote in Cambridge, first, last spring, when a letter from general counsel Daniel Steiner '54 warned that doing so would subject the newly enfranchised to a multitude of tax liabilities, and then, this fall, when an OCS-OCL newsletter warned pre-meds that it could hurt their chances of getting into home-state med schools, Wylie took on the University...
