Sitting next to Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos at a U-shaped table of gleaming rubbed mahogany in Mala-cafiang Palace, home of the islands' rulers-Spanish, American, and finally Filipino-for a century, Johnson noted that four principles dominated the talks. They were that "aggression must fail," that the allies must press pacification and development programs in South Viet Nam, that the budding spirit of cooperation among Asians must be nurtured, and that peace must be pursued. The important thing, he said, was not to mislead Hanoi as Hitler was misled before World War II. "I know that some...
Most Americans are so busy, or so irritated, at transportation shortcomings right under their noses that they fail to realize how many of the nation's transport troubles originate in Washington. Ever since 1887, when the Interstate Commerce Act first fastened rate control on railroads, legislators have been piling law upon law and agency upon agency without considering the total effect. The result is a great googleplex: hundreds of federal, state and local authorities that, oblivious of one another, spend $17 billion a year of taxpayers' money to work at purposes that often cross.

"In the past, if a fellow was too short we stretched him, and if he was too long we shrank...
Ronald L. Trosper '67, chairman of the HPC, yesterday compared the two plans and noted that the HPC did not equate a course with its final exam. The HPC's plan would require pass-fail students to do all of the course work, and Trosper pointed out that Harvard's proposal "offers similar educational opportunities as well as increased flexibility" to pass-fail students...
