...from its South Vietnamese allies, who are stubbornly engaged in what looks to impatient outsiders like puerile bickering over seating arrangements and furniture design. Nonetheless, the Saigon regime has an immensely important point to make in all the wrangling: that it should not recognize the Viet Cong as an equal, which for the South Vietnamese is the crux of the talks. Unremitting delay is also likely to be the Communists' tactic while they attempt to get the measure of their opponents. Indeed, Hanoi won a modest diplomatic victory last week when neutral Sweden announced that it would recognize...
However, Harvard Law has been extremely cooperative, Hal says. Joseph E. Leininger, vice dean of the Law School, kept a protective eye on Hal his first year. Blind students were first allowed equal time for their exams; now they have time and a half (on the undergraduate level Harvard allows double time for exams). When there was a reader shortage this year, Leininger recruited extra readers from the Law School to help...
BLIND students may have to spend more time and effort to get through an equal work load, but this does not keep them from outside interests.

And so we enter the Age of the Whore...

They find that the man with officer training and active military service generally is more mature, has had more leadership and management experience and is more capable of accepting responsibility than men hired directly out of college. Nationwide, less than five per cent of eligible college students take Army ROTC. (At Harvard the number who take ROTC is less than one-half of one per cent of the college enrollment...
