...which, 27 years ago this week, turned the tide in the Pacific war. If the comparison was vastly exaggerated, it did express Saigon's fear that the Nixon Administration might be willing to make concessions in Paris that would destroy the Thieu regime. "Our government obviously wants to know the intentions of the United States," said Pham Dang Lam, Saigon's chief negotiator in Paris, who then pointedly recalled Nixon's words that "a great nation cannot renege on its pledges...
...dramatic evidence in the entire poll on how rapidly American morality is changing," says the survey, "is the rise-and the admission of that rise-in what would surely have been considered highly serious moral infractions only a short time ago." The number of people who say that they know someone who commits adultery has risen from 24% to 36% since 1964; 15% now-v. 10% then-virtually admit to instances of adultery in their own family.

But we know enough about it to be certain that neither the physicists who proposed this project, nor the members of the Atomic Energy Commission who approved it, ever believed that it might contribute, even slightly, to weapon development. Furthermore, extraordinary care has been exercised to assure that expensive new scientific projects like the Accelerator do not commit the university to permanent investment. When they have outlived their usefulness these facilities will be eliminated far more easily than smaller ones contributed by private donors...
...students sit around a lot worrying about not meeting girls (or not meeting boys), pay no attention to the fascinating variety of people passing through and hanging on in Cambridge, regard Faculty only as performers who at their best can make a lecture seem like a seminar, and neither know nor much care what their fellow students are doing. If all this is true, these are bad times for Harvard, but it still seems to me more probable that these are merely the worst of times for the Yearbook...
