Despite all this, Reardon exhorted the committee to seek the funds for a hoop facility that could be built in what is now a parking lot adjacent to Blodgett Pool. Mention of the 200-plus intramural basketball teams at the College, Business, and Law Schools was enough to drive home the point that Harvard's biggest athletic need for the '80s will be in the roundball sport...
...Reardon mentioned the addition of women's locker facilities in the new rink: and I thought back to freshman year, when "Title IX" was the reading assignment for the ninth week of a course. But today federal legislation has dramatically altered the manner in which Harvard constructs its facilities. Reardon has tried to run his office as a model of compliance, and the nickname "Cliffie" isn't heard too often around 60 Boylston St. I wish I had a nickel for every freshman in the fall of '75 who would have snickered at even the mention of a women...

...have worked on The Coming Decline for ten years, roughly the length of time since he became the first Soviet citizen in two decades to visit Chiang Kai-shek's Taiwan, secretly, in late 1968. His book, however, is virtually devoid of contemporary sinological research, not to mention eyewitness reporting.

At one point Louis admits this; at another point he claims, preposterously, that...
Understandably enough, Louis makes no mention of Moscow's difficulties with its own ethnic minorities, which constitute 53% of the Soviet Union's population, as compared with a total 6% minority population in China. Yet it was a revolt of the Soviets' restive minorities that provided a central drama a decade ago in the prophecy by Soviet Dissident Andrei Amalrik, Will the Soviet Union Survive Until 1984? After serving a term of exile in Siberia, Amalrik was allowed to emigrate to the West...
