...Edwin B. Newman, professor of Psychology and chairman of the Harvard participants in the Cambridge Project, indicated last night that-after Kelman's resolution is made-he will withdraw the Harvard-M.I.T. Project advisory board's request that President Pusey appoint Harvard representatives to the official Project policy board. Kelman then would withdraw his proposal...
...Newman met with Keiman and with Mark Ptashne, lecturer on Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, yesterday and will meet with them this afternoon before the Faculty meeting. "We reached a detente today and worked out the outline for a scenario," Newman said last night...
...Newman sees it, both the anti and pro-Cambridge Project factions on the Faculty would gain some and give some if this afternoon's "scenario" goes as planned.

Since it reached a high of 61 last year, Northwest stock has fallen to 13, a drop of 79%. The plunge has cost Newman a personal paper loss of $6.6 million. Why leave, with so much at stake in Northwest? Newman said that he wanted to take advantage of some "tantalizing situations" outside Northwest, but insiders say that he was simply "not having much fun" at the company after things turned sour...
