...Campaign. Cooper and Hart argued in favor of continuing ABM research, but opposed any appropriations for actual hardware and weaponry. New Hampshire Democrat Thomas Mclntyre put in an amendment allowing deployment of radar and electronic gear at the first two proposed ABM sites in North Dakota and Montana.

...legal right to attend Ole Miss. As Farley's successor, the trustees appointed a safer man: Joshua M. Morse III, an Ole Miss alumnus and law professor who has opposed Farley's subversive ideas. But Dean Morse, now 46, soon showed signs of heresy himself. He strayed North for a year of graduate study at Yale law school, returned with a sense of social mission that dramatically changed Ole Miss-and has now doomed him to Farley's fate...
