Under the guise of a military maneuver, powerful East German and Soviet forces moved into positions from which they could, if the order came, immediately choke off the ten road, rail and canal routes that link West Berlin to its markets and sources of supplies in West Germany. Columns of tanks rumbled alongside the autobahn routes to West Berlin. The long snouts of artillery poked above clumps of East German woods. Into Berlin flew Soviet Marshal Ivan Yakubovsky, the Warsaw Pact commander, to assume direction of some 500,000 Communist troops engaged in the exercise...
This plan would cost from $20,000 to $74,000 per year. Radcliffe is presently raising $30 million, $15 million of which will go to improvements on campus, such as Currier House, 200-car parking lot under the Quad, a connecting link between Eliot and Bertram, and others. Considering this sum, and the imminent merger with Harvard, $74,000 seems a small amount to spend on the physical safety--perhaps even the lives--of 1200 Cliffies...
...fade. Primitive diplomacy-or undiplomacy-is increasingly back in style, partly because the world's two great powers are locked in a nuclear stalemate. Neither the United States nor the Soviet Union is free to simply send in a gunboat to sort out an awkwardness. Modern communications link the world so closely together that a raw display of power in Pyongyang, for example, may produce severe reverberations in Moscow almost instantly. In addition, even small nations today have enough firepower of their own to blow an unfriendly gunboat out of the water. And the bipolar alliances that arose from...
...problems. But like most contemporary American social theorists, Moynihan views America's troubles as residual, as the unfinished business of a society which has on the whole found satisfactory answers for its problems. He deplores the Vietnam war as a tragic waste of resources, but sees no particular link between wasteful military expenditures and Keynesian economic planning, which he praises as the basis of "the singularly successful political economy of the 1960's." An economic explanation of racism is dismissed as vulgar Marxism. Black poverty, he feels, can be explained in terms of economic and sociological processes which are mainly...
...conducted by the Committee in which several prominent citizens claim they were slandered. One of these included Dr. Jeremiah Stamler, a director for the Chicago Board of Health and associate professor at Northwestern. On hearsay evidence, and sometimes not even that, the late Joe Pool (D-Tex.) tried to link Stamler's name with known Communists. This time, with the support of a solidly Republican law firm, Stamler sued HUAC as soon as it issued him a subpoena. The suit argues that the Committee's mandate violates the guarantees of the First Amendment...
