THEY provide proof that Harvard is first and finally an institution of the higher classes, a plaything of the interlocking Government-Pentagon-foundation world which makes American foreign policy. It is an exclusive club, employment agency and training center for the jet-setting intellectual elite who swing deals for the fates of the starved nations in just the way businessmen and generals do. The common style of corporate chieftains, warmakers and Harvard's elite is no accident: many prestigious Harvard professors and administrators are deacons of the church of American empire. Their hands are bloody. The work they...
...society, including the university. ROTC trains 70% of the Army's junior officers, men who are sent to battle against the Vietnamese and other liberation movements all over the world. ROTC is only the least subtle of the university's many contributions to the U.S. foreign policy of domination, but our fight against ROTC threatens the status quo in courses, admissions, research, investments arid disciplines as well...
...more in the vein of Mark Twain than Lenny Bruce. Jonah, in Steinberg's version, was swallowed by a giant guppy. Many clergymen appreciate Steinberg's mischievous Biblical homilies and he has often been invited to speak in churches and temples. "Because new types of humor seem foreign to people, they assume that they must be in bad taste," says the impish Steinberg, who is now sermonizing at Manhattan's Bitter End.

Circulation was 155,000, behind two mediocre competitors, and profit-and-loss figures showed only losses. Newhall de-emphasized foreign affairs and accentuated a breezy-and sometimes banal-mixture of splashy local stories and columnists, including San Franciscophile Herb Caen and Art Hoppe, the West Coast's answer to Art Buchwald. One of the paper's series, probing the police department, went so far as to lead with...
...Foreign competition is most severe in man-made-fiber textiles, the most rapidly growing segment of the industry since advancing technology gave the world wash-'n'-wear shirts and permanent-press pants. Although synthetics account for 54% of U.S. textile production, imports have swelled from $59.7 million in 1961 to $481 million last year. Cotton-textile imports, once a serious threat to U.S. producers, are regulated by a restraining agreement negotiated with 31 countries in 1961. Today they are of diminishing importance as more and more foreign textile makers switch to synthetics...
