He filed a lawsuit against the University and two SPH officials, demanding his reinstatement as an assistant professor of Nutrition and pointing the finger at Harvard's unbalanced books.

The mimicry appears at just the right time to capitalize on, and possibly abet, the burgeoning Kennedy in '80 groundswell...
...sopranos, and politicos arrive in September, zealous upperclassmen will besiege you to join the H-R This and That Club or at least put you on its mailing list. Soon torrents of literature will make you feel like the poor sucker Uncle Sam means when he points a gnarled finger and croaks, "I want...
