...Faculty should control its own membership and course offerings." Having said this, Pusey took a new and more unexpected turn. "I should like to say further," he wrote, "that the Corporation notes with satisfaction that a very large majority of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences opposed a motion seeking completely to exclude ROTC programs from this community...
...seemed to be contained in his determination that ROTC be retained at Harvard: as for the Faculty's requests for reforms, the Corporation had agreed only to enter into negotiations to try to implement them. The Corporation appears to have selected the Faculty's rejection of Hilary Putnam's motion to abolish ROTC as the limiting factor on all changes in ROTC's status. If the Faculty's changes could not be implemented without precipitating a break with ROTC, then the changes may not be implemented at all, for to do so would in effect violate the Faculty's decision...
...HOUSE Un-American Activities Committee has lost its good name. A bill to rechristen it "House Committee on Internal Security" passed the House last week 305 to 79, but only after a motion to abolish the old name weathered a 262 to 123 vote.

Danby begins by sharing his bed with Adelaide the maid, then flirts with his brother-in-law's wife and finally consorts with an ex-nun named Lisa...
...students and charging for copies in public places, with the additional income helping to finance the free distribution. Boston After Dark sells about 5000-6000 copies each week, Sullivan said, not counting 2500 subscriptions (perhaps half of which are complimentary, going to notables such Jack Valenti of the Motion Picture Association of America and special "his and hers" subscriptions to Mayor and Mrs. White). Before the 15 cents price tag was added, bookstores would ask to carry BAD, Lewis said--"they found it a traffic-builder." Even now, the Harvard Square Paperback Book-smith sells over 600 each week...
