...exactly a sissy's sport, but football is admittedly more civilized than whatever game Rutgers and Princeton played 100 years ago. It's certainly more fun to watch now that it's no longer on the Coliseum gladiator level, and today thousands of Ivy League fans will expect entertainment as the season opens once again. All eight teams are playing non-league opponents, but that's all right. Only Columbia can be considered to have an excellent chance of losing. Most should...
...BROWN-RHODE ISLAND: This one ranks high on the list of unimportant games. Brown is still building with an eye on 1970, and Rhode Island dropped a thriller to Temple last week, 47-3. The Bruins have a defense, but expect some sloppy offensive work and a final score of 14-7, with Brown...

Specifically that meant John Foster, the Defense Department's top research official. Foster's scientific work has been concerned with thermonuclear bombs (he did his graduate work under Edward Teller), and while Cambridge...
...true, as one leaflet distributed at Harvard last week charged, that the immediate effect of the Cambridge Project will be to connect Pentagon crisis managers with data banks in Cambridge full of information about revolutionary movements in the rest of the world. But there is every reason to expect that the ultimate result of much of the work that the Cambridge Project will support will indeed be the creation and modernization of Defense Department informational facilities and techniques...
