These occasional affairs are incidental to the really important--but delayed and indirect--impact the Center hopes to have on Harvard. Any improvement in the higher levels of historical research, such as the Warren Center is now sponsoring, will inevitably filter down to affect undergraduate studies. Handlin points out, however, that the Center is now making a more deliberate effort to improve the quality of teaching in the field of American history--improving the working conditions of junior faculty members--to make Harvard attractive to young historians...
...ours. I find, however, that your recent commentary on the war and the Tet offensive [March 1] is blatant alarmism, shrill with Cassandra's cry and, from my vantage point at least, unsupportable in fact. This is painfully evident to anyone serving here. Your reporting of the impact of the recent offensive on the war, the government, and the economy, is exaggerated and misleading...
Should Johnson decide on a massive new input of men, the impact on the U.S. would be profound: mobilization of some elements of the reserves and of the National Guard at a time when both may be needed to cope with disorders in the cities; higher taxes; perhaps even wage and price controls.

According to a Gallup poll released this week, 49% of Americans-the highest total ever-believe that the U.S. made...

Feathery Lisa Bradley, 20, is a fragilely beautiful study in symmetry; fiery Luis Fuente, 20, is built like a blockbuster and has the same impact; sinuous Trinette Singleton, 19, dances like a sensuous nymph out for a gambol; and then there is airborne Robert Blankshine, 19, who has mastered the neat little trick of sailing into the wings as he kicks the back of his head. They all help give the Joffrey Ballet its hallmark...
