KISSINGER: Well, first of all, it is incorrect to say that we cut off the credit. Most of the credits that were cut off were cut off as the result of the basic policies of the Allende government. Mr. [Robert] McNamara [head of the World Bank and former U.S. secretary of defense] gave a speech or a press statement last summer in which he explained that the World Bank does not extend credit if there is an expropriation without compensation, if the economic policies of the country do not make it a good credit risk, and a third reason which...
...course, there was a time, only a few years ago, when Harvard student politics occupied the attention of people even outside Cambridge. There had been glimmerings of it earlier on. For example, big headlines gave national play to Harvard student politics in 1965, when hundreds of students surrounded Robert McNamara outside of Quincy House and forced him to answer questions about the Vietnam War.

The second-term Democrat from Wisconsin has waged an all-out war on military waste and cost overruns. He helped expose ballooning costs at Litton Industries' naval shipbuilding yards and mechanical troubles with Lockheed's C-5A cargo plane. Aspin also led the move that cut $1 billion from last year's Defense authorization and shot down flight pay for admirals and generals whose active flying days are behind...
Joseph A. Califano Jr., 43. A magna cum laude Harvard Law graduate, Califano was general counsel to the Department of the Army and chief troubleshooter for former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara before moving to the White House in 1965 as Lyndon Johnson's top domestic aide. In that capacity he coordinated almost all aspects of the President's ambitious Great Society legislative program. Currently writing a book about the presidency, Califano is actively involved in national Democratic Party affairs, and has been particularly successful in gaining some equal air time...
