Unfortunately, the contents of the article where it refers to CEA reflects a lack of knowledge and understanding of the laboratory, of its relation to Harvard and to the Federal Government. Among others, the following statements are completely incorrect: "Recent cuts in appropriations will mean that Harvard is paying for something it thought it was getting free.

...state that Detroit has adopted a new police weapon known as the "nutcracker" [Feb. 28]. This is completely incorrect. The Detroit police department has not adopted such a weapon, we have not issued any to officers, we have not ordered or purchased any, and we do not intend to order or purchase...
