Disclosures such as this, correct or incorrect, could soon stifle the free flow of advice and opinion within the government. Although the press must inform the public of what is going on in Washington, National Security Council meetings should be free from its probes. No high government official can do his job if his private advice to the President becomes public information. In the Stevenson case, President Kennedy was obligated to keep secret the advice given him, rather than to open State Department, White House and CIA sources to Alsop and Bartlett...
...Kennedy Administration's economists made some extravagantly incorrect predictions about the course of the U.S. economy for 1962, but they were right on the nose with their forecasts for housing. A year ago, the Administration predicted that urban starts of new houses and apartment units would rise about 9% during 1962, to a total of some 1,400,000. Last week's report from the Commerce Department strongly indicates that the final total will hit that mark...
Your editorial "Harvard and the NSA" which appeared on November 10, 1963 stated: "The Leverett House Committee has recommended that college delegates to the annual Congresses of the United States National Student Association be elected by campus-wide referendum."

Technicians speak of an electron "beam," but it is incorrect to think off the machine as producing a continuous flow of high-energy electrons. In reality, the electrons spurt into the ring from the linear accelerator in bunches of 100 million at the rate of 60 bunches per second. At 16 places in the ring, there are radio-frequency powered acceleration cavities. Each time the electron bunch passes through a cavity, its energy increases. The electron pulses thus receive discrete "kicks" of energy as they orbit, until they have finally reached the energy level desired for any particular experiment...
