William M. Rand, Jr. '43 and Peter K. Barber '70 are products of different eras, of different wars, of different sets of values. One grew up with the Andrews Sisters, the other with the Rolling Stones. Yet they have a couple of things in common: they both went to Harvard, and they are both volunteers in the current $250 million capital fund drive. Their reasons for joining the drive, as might be expected, differ radically...
...after Weinberger's seemingly casual references to such explosive issues as reviving plans for the neutron bomb, linking arms control to Soviet policy in Poland or selling arms to China. While Weinberger has not really trespassed on Haig's turf, he has not hesitated to express views that differ from those of the Secretary of State.

The one presented to the Senate by its Budget Committee closely tracks the proposals made for the Administration by David Stockman, Director of the Office of Management and Budget.

Reagan had in mind the House Education and Labor Committee, a nest...
...disagreement between Rosovsky and Mansfield marks a pervasive disagreement among faculty about affirmative action here, particularly in tenured posts. Explanations of why Harvard currently has only 12 tenured women and 21 tenured minorities, and what--if anything--it should be doing about it differ dramatically...
