...addition to money, Harvard provides a number of services to Cambridge residents. The Harvard Community Health Plan, a pre-paid group medical plan, has 36,000 members in greater Boston.

Harvard lent it several million dollars to get started, and all its doctors are affiliated with the Medical School...
...Herbert Kalmbach, Nixon's personal lawyer, told the Senate Watergate committee in secret hearings that part of a $100,000 donation from Billionaire Hughes given in 1969 and 1970 to Bebe Rebozo, the President's good friend, was in turn given or lent for the personal use of two other Nixon intimates: Rose Mary Woods, the President's personal secretary, and Donald Nixon, his brother.

When Pope Paul VI named him cardinal in 1965, Shehan viewed the honor as a papal endorsement of "racial justice." But he was not always so heartily endorsed at home; testifying in favor...
...this Sunday morning. A strapping, red-bearded farmer named Gilbert, 22, leads the choir and congregation in the first hymn. As the notes die, 28-year-old Jean-Paul, a wiry, lean-faced legal clerk standing at the sanctuary lectern, launches into a short homily on the meaning of Lent, likening the penitential season to an automobile overhaul. After more songs and the reading of the Gospel, Pierre, 66, a sturdy, gray-haired retired farmer, leaves his pew and walks to the tabernacle. There he removes a ciborium of communion hosts consecrated by the parish priest the week before...
