...Peter Kastner heads an impressive cast that includes Julie Harris, Elizabeth Hartman, Geraldine Page and Rip Torn in this daft if not always deft first effort by Director Francis Ford Coppola...
...championship, a title he took again last year when he won eight out of 15 races and $82,695. This month Andretti teamed with New Zealand's Bruce McLaren to win the Sebring twelve-hour endurance race for sports cars-averaging a record 102.9 m.p.h. in a Ford Mark IV. As soon as that race was over, he flew to Georgia where he took over the wheel of a 1967 Ford stock car in the Atlanta 500. He was leading after 235 miles when he spun out and crashed; he got back on the track only to spin...
Humphrey Doermann's report on CIA financing gave the University a clean bill of health--almost. Doermann, assigned by Dean Ford to investigate possible CIA influence, told the Faculty Tuesday that Central Intelligence Agency "conduit" foundations have channeled $456,000 into the University from 1960 to 1966. Conduit foundations, unlike so-called "dummy" organizations, do not receive all their money from the CIA, and therefore there is no proof that the agency's dollars actually went to the University. There were no strings attached to the aid, so the government could not directly influence research or prevent its results from...
...Dean Ford has observed that in the future the Faculty may have to decide whether it will take funds from the Central Intelligence Agency for clearly-specified, unclassified research. When that question arises, he told his colleagues, the Faculty should not try to make blanket classifications of government agencies as to the acceptability of their funds; rather, it should appraise the individual terms of each grant proposal...
...forbidden the Agency to work through the conduits. But if the formula for government aid to academic projects is now to be open, it is unlikely that the CIA, by its secretive nature, would make such grants. If it should offer Harvard a grant for some specified work, Ford's proposal makes good sense. It would allow the University to determine at that time whether the terms of the CIA's offer did not undermine the credibility of Harvard as a haven for disinterested academic research. In any case, were the University to refuse to accept CIA research grants...
