Asked about the University's direct negotiations with the Authority, Pompeo said that once previously, in October, 1957, Harvard had met with the Trustees to consider the purchase of air rights over the yards, and had had engineering studies made of the possibility of suspended construction. Between then and the time of the recent letter, Pompeo said, he had no discussions with Harvard about the subject...
...seduced by authoritarian devices for social control. It was imperative to transcend the seductions and qualities of materiel and its concomitant ethic. As for myself, I considered it necessary to evolve an instrument to aid in cutting through all such opiates, past and present, so that a direct, immediate, and truly free and human commitment could be achieved, and a responsible statement be made visible...
Self-felicitations, morover, on the survival and success of NATO must not obscure the fact that the Alliance was formed under circumstances far different than exist today.

In the cowboy's world, justice is the result of direct action, not of elaborate legality. A man's fate depends on his own choices and capacities, not on the vast impersonal forces of society or science. His motives are clearly this or that, unsullied by psychologizing (except, of course, in the Freudian frontier yarns). Moreover a man cannot be hagridden...
