Demands put forth by the Graduate School of Design Assembly called for immediate steps by the University to compensate the community by restoring a substantial number of units to the low-income housing stock. It was proposed that this be done by assigning at least 25 per cent of Harvard's current stock of non-dormitory units to the leased public housing program and by constructing a minimum of 1500 low-rent units (in addition to 1500 units for its own personnel...
...Graduate School of Design Forum - attended by more than 100 students, faculty, and administrators - unanimously passed a proposal for restructuring to give students a voice in running the school. The new system, drawn up by a student-faculty committee set up last spring, will include three new governing bodies...

In addition, we propose that three Overseers, two Fellows, a representative of the Radcliffe Trustees and a representative of the Associated Harvard Alumni serve on the Committee: these must be willing to devote the large amount of time that...
Linvill's idea for the probe-pin design came from a high-speed computer that printed its answers with electrically charged pins instead of solid typeface.

The portable, battery-operated machine was then given to Candy...

Instead of sitting in his office ruling on policy, he took to haunting the Ford design center, arriving there as early as 7:15 a.m. He ordered one change in the grille of the 1970 Thunderbird that made it resemble the Pontiac -a car produced by the G.M. division that Knudsen once headed. He also changed some personnel at the middle-management level without paying due respect to the wishes...
