...subpoena with a list of 32 students. Since then, the committee and its investigation have dropped out of the news. There has been little tangible evidence so far that the subpoena or the reply have brought a new wave of Congressional oppression down on the University. But this momentary lull should not conceal the danger McClellan's committee poses to Harvard and the country's other universities...
...been evident to astronomers for some time that solar disturbances occur in rather close harmony with the appearance of the sunspots. Thus there were fierce solar storms during and shortly after the record numerical peak in sunspots during 1957-58 and a long lull during the sunspot minimum in 1963-64. There is an even closer connection. Most of the violent solar eruptions occur near clusters of sunspots on the solar surface and seem to derive their energy from the magnetic fields that cause the spots. Suddenly flaring into extreme brilliance, a region hundreds of millions of square miles...

In each area of contention, the issue remain unresolved, and the next week will show whether the Corporation and Faculty plan to deal openly and properly with these issues...

They are believed to view the current Communist offensive as a direct and understandable, if not justified, response to the unabated allied military pressure during the September-to-January lull. They fault the U.S. for failing to match that lull in allied operations. More generally, they argue that, despite Nixon's refusal to resume bombing the North, the U.S. still maintains a relatively hard line in the conduct of the war, and that this is a mistake even as a stopgap...
