Walt justifiably complains that the single Soviet representative to the Harvard conference, diplomat Yuri Kaprolov, presented a one-sided, and largely incorrect, history of the arms race. But Walt does not add that other speakers were quick to express similar skepticism at the time.

If they are, it is damning proof of how totally historical the Phoenix's 15-year retrospective really is. There is one great paragraph in the current Express--part of a scenario about two people who meet an automatic money machine. "My impression is that if these two had met five, or certainly, ten years ago, their genuine passion would have reflected a public spirit which suggested that what was worth wanting was worth attempting.

...Union tonight will be held the last mass-meeting before the game. Even the great Living Room will be too small to hold all those who come to show the team their loyalty and interest.
