Present-day spy planes, with their elaborate electronic gadgetry, come in two main varieties. The more glamorous type is the fast, sleek jet that darts through another country's airspace to photograph anything of military interest, from missile installations to arms depots. Best known is the subsonic U2, which precipitated a major cold-war crisis when the Soviet Union shot down one piloted by Francis Gary Powers in 1960. Its replacement is the SR-71, the 2,000-m.p.h. Blackbird, which is probably the world's fastest airplane in sustained flight (TIME, April...

...very logical sequences the authorities use in determining scales of value and the causes of events preclude saying such major decisions about what to do with one's life came from any one factor, especially an experience with such low remember-ability as an LSD trip. One of the main complaints by people who have taken LSD and disliked it is that none of the "revelations" from the trip can be remembered subsequently. What can be remembered is "worthless." Many people who take LSD more than once keep right on doing what they were doing. Can you tell whether your...

...have been absolutely necessary. We all knew that political education was a slow process but it seems, surprisingly, that time is the crucial input. That this is so is shown by the fact that the three expansion demands never did get accepted by the mass of students. This was mainly because these demands were sprung quite unexpectedly and people had not had a chance to think about them enough. These particular demands were not backed up, as the ROTC demands were, by the long period of dissemniation and absorption and constant political agitation which by some mysterious process of osmosis...

...main reason that people here are confused is that they have been trying to interpret the events of the last two weeks the way that Harvard students have been taught to interpret everything--by holding it still (and it won't hold still) and examining it. Mainly, we are intimately concerned with why this is going on. It is a silly thing to be concerned with. Billy Pilgrim (in Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five) was concerned with it after some people from another planet carried him away in their space ship, but they set him straight...

...main point, however, is to bring to the attention of the Harvard community how unradical the new Fainsod Committee's Committee actually is. Whether or not to allow students to sit on this committee was a controversial point and even those in favor of it may have had some doubts as to its results. Not only that, but students comprise only one-third of the committee, while Radcliffe's Judicial Board is half and half. I feel that this is an example of how Harvard students are being fooled into thinking that they have forced far-reaching concessions from...
