...incorrect to state that "Pusey unexpectedly decided to get involved." As you note on your editorial page of the issue of February 14, Mr. Pusey received letters objecting to the manuscript from scientists who figured in it. Mr. Wilson kept Mr. Pusey fully informed of reactions received by the Press, and it was with Mr. Wilson's knowledge that the matter was placed before the Corporation.

...face. For almost a month there was no official response to the HPC's suggestion, and when four administrators and two HPC members met to discuss the report in early January, they were unable to agree on any major changes. Even a minor HPC request--to note the possibility of Independent Study in the course catalogue--was reportedly met with vigorous objections from Registrar Robert Shenton.

"After all, he has to live in it and pay for it," says Bell. Adds McCluskey: "I've often found that he's on a budget...
...client insists on selecting something in atrocious taste? Some decorators refuse to buy the offending object, though few go as far as Lady Bird Johnson's favorite designer, Washington's Genevieve Hendricks. When she is overruled, she likes to preserve her integrity by pinning a note to the underside of the disputed chair or sofa stating, "I, Genevieve Hendricks, do not approve this piece of furniture." Others are more tolerant. "I like eccentricities-if they are the eccentricities of the owner," says Billy Baldwin. "I approve of permitting the wrong note in a room in order to achieve...
