...abolition of the student council at Harvard. Since I first gave my $5.00 to this venerable institution some four years ago, I have questioned the council's utility.

On hand to stir them on were the Army's senior commanders, striving both by indirection and by extraordinarily blunt talk to overturn Defense Department policy and win for the Army a major place in the missile world. Displayed around the hotel ballroom were Army missiles and parts of missiles; at the entrance...
