Unfortunately, one of the chief perpetrators of these misconceptions is The Crimson. Implicit in The Crimson's coverage of Mass Hall is the assumption that the stereotypes apply. Administrative activity is newsworthy only if it smacks of oppression, indifference, or collusion with the Establishment. In the area of Medical School administration, for example. The Crimson has given much print space to the unionization controversy but has made no mention of Harvard's Total Energy Plant proposals, which could revolutionize the generation and supply of heat and electricity for large facilities (and result in substantial savings to schools and hospitals using...
South Viet Nam poses a more difficult problem for U.S. policymakers. Implicit in the nature of the U.S. withdrawal at the time of the Paris Accords was the assumption that the U.S. could no longer guarantee the existence of a non-Communist government in Saigon, no matter how desirable that might be. Still there is a case for maintaining a reasonable amount of U.S. economic aid to South Viet Nam over the next several years because a very special relationship exists between the two countries. The temptation to cut off all military aid at once is strong. It would...
...attacks and ameliorative positions on school desegregation in Boston as elsewhere, there is an attempt to deny the black man his future as a citizen with equal social, economic and political status.

In Harvard's case, neither source existed--Coach Tom Sanders obviously doesn't believe in acting as the motivating factor, for implicit in his way of basketball thinking is the idea that the players should be able to motivate themselves, without any excess patting on the back from the coach. This way of thinking is consistent with his whole low-key approach to the game. Whether it produces victories is questionable...
THERE ARE NO mistakes in this Alchemist no gimmicks or compromises or implicit apologies for one of the classic warhorses of English comedy. It won't have you rolling in the aisles, though it probably wasn't Jonson's intention to get that sort of response--he wanted to instruct as well as amuse. He placed himself squarely in the center of his society, defending true values against all comers front all directions--Puritan and libertine, meek fool and overbearing lout. He played the down-to-earth Aristotle to Shakespeare's Plato, attacking anyone who deviated from his golden mean...
