Edward Moore Kennedy, LL.D,, Senator from Massachusetts. Across that chasm between youth and the Establishment-the generation gap -you are a mighty bridge...
...NASA has improved the complex quarantine procedures in Houston's $15.8 million Lunar Receiving Laboratory (TIME, Dec. 29, 1967), where the returned astronauts and their lunar samples will spend most of their three-week isolation period. The space agency has also taken makeshift measures to plug a major gap in the quarantine defenses: the post-splashdown exposure of the Apollo cabin atmosphere and the astronauts themselves in the earth's environment...

The report said that Cliffies and Harvard students needed chances to meet each other informally and suggested co-ed living exchanges and liberalized interhouse dining as ways to bridge the sexual gap...
...What would happen? Presumably some faculty, choosing to place a high priority on research, would accept positions elsewhere, taking with them some graduate students. No undergraduates would have to leave. Since the reduction in faculty and students would be proportional to the reduction in research money, the financial gap to be filled by the university due to this restructuring would be only that portion of the "indirect coast" of research contracts not actually spent for indirect costs related to the research...
...Federal science research at Harvard is now $50 million and is reduced by $17 million (33 per cent) the "padded" indirect costs would be $10 million maximum, and more likely $4 million. Would that put Harvard in receivership? If Harvard's $1 billion endowment principal were applied to this gap, Harvard wouldn't go broke for 250 years. This obviously oversimplifies the finances involved, because of restrictions on some portions of the endowment, but the comparison places the problem in perspective. New additions to endowment from gifts have avaraged $25.5 million per year in recent years. If the university were...
