Harvard had asked NSF to increase immediately its $5.4 million allotment by about $440,000, so that the University could maintain "a liveable level of project research." Harvard had received $5.7 million from NSF in 1968, and had anticipated a 14 per cent increase--instead of the 18 per cent decrease--this year...
AUTOMOBILES are costly to buy and to maintain. Although motor-happy Americans are buying more and more of them (see following story), they have reason to cringe when it comes to repairing aged or ailing cars. As Economist William N. Leonard, a professor at Long Island's Hofstra University, told a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee last week: "No matter where you go for auto repairs, you run the risk of a fleecing.

Given that basic assumption, this nation must maintain an effective and expandable military force, composed in the main of well-trained and well-led citizen-soldiers, rather than rely entirely on mercenaries. Such a force, in both its active and reserve components, will necessarily require a great many young men, including present and future students, and will also require the highest type of leadership--the type of commanders...
