...Except for this--he had been specifically sent by Harvard's Office of Government and Community Affairs to ferret out information. His report was later discussed at several Harvard meetings; and the idea of sending him had been discussed at enough length (and perhaps with enough consideration of its dubious morality) that Robin Schmidt, vice president for government and community affairs, had been given the final descision. Go ahead, he said, according to department spokesman David Rosen. Moreover, at the tenant meeting, a sign-up sheet was passed around, a single piece of yellow lined paper torn from a legal...

The Air Force, which will run any new MX system, is dubious that the technical problems of an air-launch system can be solved in the time available. Texas Senator John Tower, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, is expressing his concern around Washington that each air-launched missile could cost $1 billion. He favors a variant of the land-based plan, which actually was begun under Republican Gerald Ford...
