...Fellow's non-Harvard interests often converge on the same company. Since early in this century the Corporation has retained the Boston firm of Ropes & Gray as the University's legal counsel. During that time at least three Fellows--Thomas Nelson Perkins, Charles A, Coolidge and Francis H. Burr--have been partners in Ropes & Gray. From 1954 to 1965, when Coolidge retired, he and Burr served as Fellows at the same time. Burr also sit on the Board of Directors of State Street Investment Corporation, whose relationship with Harvard's treasure, Gorge Bennett, is discussed below; Bennett, Burr, and Coolidge...
Banging Plates. If the conference posed problems for the Soviet leaders, they were certainly putting up a breezy and self-confident front. Attired in a natty gray single-breasted suit and a red tie, Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev led a covey of Politburo members on a four-hour tour of Automation 69, an international exhibit of new electronic equipment that is being held in Moscow's Sokolniki Park.

The figures are bound to the wall by strands of concentration-camp barbed wire. Another piece consists of a plaster "torso" wearing a bloodstained gray jacket, its arms flung out handless in the posture of a crucifix. Two or three blood-red cloth carnations sprout from the jacket's inside pockets. Still another assemblage presents a shoe embedded in a plaster block. Where the toe dared to protrude from the block, it is chopped...
...Irish Catholicism, but he is almost equally unsympathetic to the new-style, gogo, golf-club-toting young priests buoyed up by their faith in sociology. Outside of the church, Father Conroy hardly knows which to despair of more-the ignorant Irish peasants whom he loves, or the smooth, gray-suited men of the future whom he fears justly for their visions of superhighways spanning the land for the greater glory of the tourist industry...
