TIME's survey of attempts by some Third World governments to control news [Nov. 20] contains a historic misunderstanding. In referring to the autobiography of former Associated Press General Manager Kent Cooper, it was stated that a cartel of European news agencies controlled "all the news that flowed into and out of the U.S. until well into the 1930s." In fact, United Press International (then United Press) began serving overseas clients in 1909, and by 1929 its service was going to 1,170 newspapers in 45 overseas countries and territories. It covered the world for its U.S. subscribers with...

The review should concentrate on the conditions of the donations in the light of certain criteria; the group would not review unrestricted gifts to the general fund.

We live at Harvard; we work at Harvard; we play at Harvard; we learn at Harvard; we spend our money to help support Harvard.
