...walk through the "hallowed halls of Harvard" and out of them into the U. S. A. of the late nineteenth century, as Martin R. Delany, William Monroe Trotter, or W. E. B. DuBois. In our old selves we will meet some of the same ghostly notions in white that haunt our lives today. Squinting is natural at first, but soon we see, and when we return to America '71, Harvard and any place else we be, we can see some similarities...

Gofman, who have just amplified their case in a book sardonically titled 'Population Control' Through Nuclear Pollution, did their work at Seaborg's old scientific haunt, the Lawrence Radiation Lab, which is entirely supported by AEC funds. The AEC vigorously denied their charges, but Senator Edmund Muskie, chairman of the Senate's Subcommittee on Air and Water Pollution, found them serious enough to ask for an independent investigation by the A.A.A.S. In particular, Muskie wants...
