Whether the new Constitution succeeds or not, it constitutes a temperate effort toward political stability and a bold experiment in "de-colonization." It thus reflects quite well some of the main features of de Gaulle's leadership...
...Education, partly financed by American Telephone and Telegraph Co., International Business Machines Corp., Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co. and U.S. Steel, the physics course will feature topnotch scientists (first: Dr. James R. Killian Jr.. the President's special assistant for science and technology) as guest speakers, but its main lecturer will be Dr. Harvey E. White, University of California professor of physics. The first semester, "devoted to those aspects of physics necessary to an understanding of atomic and nuclear physics," will deal with kinematics, light, dynamics, electricity, magnetism. The second will emphasize atomic and nuclear physics...

I reported this fact to the woman who is in charge of Harvard housing, who informed me that nothing could be done unless the Negroes themselves objected. My main concern is, if this be the case, and a Negro couple were to track down the apartments themselves, a landlord would only have to see them to say that he was sorry but he was filled up, and the question of whether or not he discriminated would be indeterminate...
