...Most of Cohen's allegations had substance," says NIH Division Manager James Shriver. "When we completed our investigation of his activities, Harvard made restitution almost immediately." But NIH was sufficiently aroused to ask for a broader investigation by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. HEW's preliminary findings, released earlier this year, hit Cambridge like a ton of red tape: HEW auditors questioned the way Harvard accounted for 40% of $37 million in federal grants and contracts to the School of Public Health.

Congressman Andrew Young was made U.N. ambassador by President Carter, who also named two others from the 200 to his original Cabinet: former Idaho Governor Cecil Andrus Interior Secretary and Joseph Califano HEW Secretary, a job he was fired from on July 19. Nancy Teeters moved up from her post as an economist for the Federal Reserve to a place on its governing board, and Barbara Newell has been nominated to be Under Secretary of HEW. Last week Carter tapped former Mayor Moon...
