...International Organizations concluded that Moon had intimate ties with South Korean President Park Chung Hee's regime, and that Moon acted under the direction of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (KCIA) on at least one occasion. Given the dubious political connections of Moon's movement as well as its expansionist goals, scholars who wish to participate in Moon-sponsored cultural activities should realize the ethical repercussions of their actions...
...Chinese?and the Japanese, for that matter?were right to treat this visit as a stupendous event. The sleeping giant of Asia, xenophobic, almost rabid in its suspicions of other nations, had awakened to the possibilities of the real world.

Harvard's expansionist days are numbered, as rents and building material costs rise, making construction an expensive proposition. So Wyatt's main goal for 1978 is to tighten up and straighten out the situation. As of now, he cannot predict how long the transition to the new corporation will take. The first objective is to find a chief executive officer--a real estate professional who will be chosen from either inside or outside the University, who will then choose staffers for the corporation...
