...anyone believe the Harvard SDS demands are made seriously?...How can one respond to allegations which have no basis in fact?" --President Pusey...

Secondly, there was a reference to a play for a new Kennedy School of Government building. There is no such plan, and in so far as the Kennedy School may some day be accommodated in the complex of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library, it will be in an international studies, public administration unit hundreds of yards...
