Some concessions are being made by both sides, in order to equalize the effect of the final treaty: the Soviets have agreed to limit production of their long-range TU-26 bomber, the Backfire, while we have accepted some limits on range and delivery of cruise missiles. But the overall effect of the treaty will be to curb the growth of the most menacing Soviet armaments, while allowing the U.S. to improve its present defense position. Instead of exposing the U.S. to overwhelmingly superior Soviet strength, as its critics claim, the treaty will shift the arena of nuclear competition from...
...avoid the unpleasant, self-defeating and nearly impossible task of judging each donor's morality, the committee need not investigate the source of the money. It should consider only two factors: the motive behind the gift and its real effect on the University and the world. It is far preferable that Harvard put even illegitimate earnings (as from apartheid) to a good cause (a school for public servants or a chair in Third World studies) than that it be reinvested in those illegitimate enterprises. By these criteria, the Engelhard Foundation's money could be kept, but the name must...
...will never be the same. After reviewing the work of some 300 artists, Cambridge Seven architects heading the project commissioned seven to draw up plans for decorating the proposed station. Although the artists say they discussed their ideas with each other in order to achieve an integrated, co-operative effect, each was given his own portion of the station with which to experiment; and it shows. Cambridge Arts Council spokeswoman Jennifer Dowling promises that every artist will ultimately be represented when the station finally becomes a reality. If so, chaos will reign...
...have never thought of myself as a stone carver," he writes. "I didn't want to remove material or change the essential nature." Yet he has not only cut and placed stones to clutter the plaza. He, like Harries, has decided his objects would look better bronzed. The effect, if one takes the model as an indicator of things to come, is terribly pretentious...
...architects' models for the station, perhaps the best parts of the exhibit, illustrate the difficulties of creating a spacious feeling in facilities which are usually claustrophobic. Greenhouse structures with glass panels open the entrances to natural light. Unfortunately, the artists seem to have conspired to ruin this effect. William Wainwright's plans to build a series of giant mobiles to hang from the glass roof seem misdirected. Although Wainwright's compositions of oblong chrome and reflecting prisms would be great in Boston-Boston, one wonders what they'll add to the station. Carolos Dorrien's granite wall piece stands nearby...
