There were other reasons behind Hanoi's determination to wait and see. Nixon has in fact given nothing away by naming Lodge. The President-elect, who has never concealed his determination to take personal charge of U.S. foreign policy, will serve, in effect, as his own chief bargainer. Nixon is fully cognizant that his No. 1 priority is Viet Nam. Key policies, both at home and abroad, depend upon a speedy settlement of the divisive war that has already claimed 30,644 American lives and drains $30 billion from the U.S. Treasury each year.

In effect it concluded that Harvard had few policies which it should be told to stop because of their deleterious effects on the community. Few of the problems plaguing Cambridge and Boston could be traced directly to Harvard policies, the committee said, arguing that most resulted from both Harvard and non-Harvard causes and that Harvard's contribution was often merely its presence in the City--not its policies...
