Schlesinger seems just the man to shake up the CIA. A seasoned scholar, bureaucrat and Republican, he enjoys the confidence of President Nixon. He was graduated summa cum laude from Harvard ('50), later got his Ph.D. in economics there, taught at the University of Virginia, and was director of strategic studies at the Rand Corp. He joined the old Bureau of the Budget in 1969, and two years later was named chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission.

"The Sex Machine's" body is a round bed covered in a plush fur-like red velvet, and sports an overhanging canopy-mirror. The chauffeur sits...
...McCarthy Era. J. Anthony Lukas '55 was busy covering the McCarthy hearings in Boston for The Crimson. Lukas was one of the few Associate Managing Editors ever to divide successfully his time between Widener Library and 14 Plympton--a member of Phi Beta Kappa, he graduated magna cum laude. Lukas found his true calling was in journalism and not in academics, though, and in 1968 he won the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting for an article he did for The New York Times on the background of a girl who had been murdered in the East Village...
