...first glance the 141-page document seems a bit overwhelming for a draft. It includes tables, maps and graphs of nearly every aspect of the University's physical environment. It outlines land boundaries, pedestrian and vehicular traffic patterns, all utility lines within the University, foliage, present zoning, building use, population densities and all potential projects that are now on the horizon for the Harvard campus. It does not specifically state each piece of property the University may attempt to purchase in coming years, but carefully lays out potential alternatives for land use in Harvard environs...
...White House clearly hoped that the sheer volume of the disclosures-218 pages of Judiciary Committee comparisons of transcripts, more than 4,000 pages of other committee evidence, the 2,217-page draft of the final Senate Watergate committee report, the long arguments before the Supreme Court-would further numb the minds of many Watergate-weary Americans.

The players say he often makes a team give up more than it has acquired simply to discourage player-initiated moves...
Norton D. Zinder, 45, an eminent microbiologist and geneticist, is also a tree shaker in the politics of science. Chairing a committee of scientists assessing the National Cancer Institute's virus research, Zinder helped draft a report that prompted a major reorganization of the program. A native of New York City, he went from Columbia to graduate work at the University of Wisconsin, where he and Nobelist Joshua Lederberg co-discovered transduction-the process by which a virus deserts its home cell and invades a new one, often altering the new cell's genetic profile. Zinder, an associate...
