Kahn was born in Bayonne, N.J., graduated from U.C.L.A. in 1945 and three years later joined the Rand Corp., the California think tank that helps the Pentagon develop defense strategies. He rejected the prevailing nuclear doctrine, Mutual Assured Destruction, which postulates that the devastation accompanying a nuclear exchange will deter the use of such weapons.

Before she goes home to bear his child in Kalamazoo, Miss Doubloon strikes a defiant pose on the balcony of her motel, where she has been exiled in disgrace from the boardinghouse.

...there is a University, but unfeeling comments and stances that smack of snideness reveal that Harvard continues to turn a deaf ear. The frequent, unnecessary clashes keep the Crimson front page supplied, but the underlying difficulty remains: If, as administrators agree, the University-student relation should be one of mutual responsibility, it should not be unreasonable to ask Bok and his cronies to show respect for what students have to say as well--to listen to complaints and, without the reflex of opposition, directly and thoughtfully to respond. That would be a story...
