...Pusey himself burned down Shannon Hall, it would be great fun but irrelevant to the issue of the war. For better or worse, the universities are permanently caught up in the cash nexus of the federal government. To disentangle Washington and Cambridge would sabotage Harvard financially and force it to acquire an even more elitist, prep-school character. The truly political solution is to throw out the government, not prohibit university "complicity" with that government. In like manner, it would be dangerous to repeal the draft and turn the Pentagon loose with a professional volunteer army. Like the draft, university...
...been able to muster more respect for the play itself. The Winter's Tale. despite its current vogue in literary circles, is in my opinion a seriously limited play. The princely bickering and love-feuds etched out in the first scenes invite superficial melodrama. The switch to a pastoral nexus in the middle third is abrupt enough, even without the equation between a Golden Age and the Age of Aquarius...
...member of the Cabinet since 1964, Crossman has grown old comfortably with the party nexus of Labour infighting.

Changing public attitudes and political considerations over the past three years, however, have stiffened resistance on Capitol Hill. Many Congressmen are concerned that any hold-down on Government...
...openness. It is bathed in natural light, which pours down a central courtyard and through wide light shafts rising the full height of the nine-story building. It is extraordinarily accessible, with a subway station nearby and even has a concourse running through its ground floor. "It is the nexus of a lot of pedestrian routes in the city," says Architect Noel McKinnell, whose firm, Kallmann, Mc-Kinnell & Knowles, won the competition to design the building as the centerpiece of Boston's 60-acre Government Center...
