But according to a 1971 study of Radcliffe Quad life by University Health Services psychiatrist Elizabeth A. Reid, coeducation increases the likelihood that women will find friends and intellectual companions within their own sex. And the magic number for that formula is one-to-one. No other ratio works...
President Ford will probably preserve a certain independence from the fellowship, despite his close friends in it and the likelihood that his weekly prayer meetings will somehow go on.

...outbursts did not divert Ervin. He asked one question after another about why investigators had not followed up evidence pointing to the likelihood that Nixon's re-election committee and the White House were deeply involved in the planning and financing of the Watergate breakin. Petersen replied that he had let White House and campaign officials avoid testifying before the Watergate grand jury to spare them publicity, and that he had called Silbert off other aspects of the case out of caution. Perhaps, he allowed, he had showed "too much restraint...
