...deeply troubled by the Harvard crisis, even more by those of his colleagues who did not share his sense of crisis, and perhaps most of all by his fear that he had not done all he could to stem that crisis and to save the university he loved so fully.

The general expectation is for little improvement over the rest of the year and quite possibly a profit decline later in 1969. Some bankers and businessmen fear that the Government's tough policy may tip the economy into a recession -or worse...
