...from a Faculty directive, the study is a one-sided proposal and carries no official weight, as does, for instance, the Fainsod report. Thus, after it is completed, Dean May must lobby for it within the Faculty, solely on the merits of the recommendations and the arguments in favor of them...
...easy to see how that situation has switched this fall. Munro really seems to have worked some psychological wonders with his team, and after some uninspiring early-season play, the players themselves opted in favor of teamwork. They have been up for games. The football squad's predicament speaks for itself, unfortunately. It would be a great relief to Harvard people who care about such things if next year Yovicsin could produce the same sort of psychological therapy as Munro has this fall. But, then again, the two men are very different from each other. Maybe captain Gary Farneti...
...little over a week ago, at the request of the department, chairman Roger W. Brown appointed a committee to investigate the whole affair.

Another joint Senate-House bill aimed at correcting some of the law's more obvious flaws will be introduced this week by Senator Edward Kennedy and Ohio Congressman Michael...
...shots of Rules of the Game affect far more than they clarify. In each the normal rectangular order of human environments, the square corners on which houses are built, is disrupted in favor of a world filled with senseless detail. The aviator has landed complaining that the woman he loves isn't present. Renoir cuts to a radio in her room, following the announcer's voice. The room is bright and elegant, unlike the night-time of the airfield-and full of ornament. Her dressing table overflows with gleaming toilette articles. A mirror atop it reflects her maidservant twice, filling...
