...certain what form that action could take, but scientists at as many as 30 universities have scheduled March seminars and meetings to investigate the possibilities. Many of them, however, have rejected the idea of accompanying research stoppages. Yale University scientists will sponsor two panel discussions as part of a program called "The Scientist and Society: a day of reflection." Faculty members at the University of Minnesota are drawing up a statement opposing the ABM system for presentation at their meeting, which may also be addressed by Minnesota Congressman Donald Fraser. Physicist Edward Condon, his flying saucer investigation completed, is heading...
...idea for a bank in Roxbury came from a Negro student at Harvard Business School, John Hayden, now 26. He wrote his master's thesis on black banking and then started buttonholing influential people, including Sneed. Businessman Sneed, who never went to college, did most of the groundwork. He advertised "the bank with a purpose" in the ghetto weekly and sold $10 shares in the venture to 3,358 small investors. Boston's National Shawmut Bank and the New England Merchants National Bank contributed advice...

Although his lengthy statement was sent as a personal reply to the letter's author, first-year student Jonathan Brant, copies of the typescript have been widely circulated among students and faculty members...
...contrast between love and sex is no new idea, and I could not call Sister George a "not-to-be-missed" film for that reason; but this particular portrayal is extremely funny. Of course the love is not the normal give-and-take love of the mental-hygiene textbooks. Instead of turning the play--which Marcus subtitled a comedy--into one of your modern tedious exposes of shallowness and love-hunger, Aldrich has created a flawed but solid delight...
