...Department about what he felt to be the project's adverse effects on the U.S. position in the country. It was becoming apparent that if SORO itself was to be saved form the wrath of Defense Department officials who had doubted the value of social science research from the outset, then Camelot would have to be sacrificed, and in mid-1965, Secretary MacNamara announced the cancellation of the program. The episode concluded with a memorandum from President Johnson which gave the State Department the power to veto Government funding of any further social science research in foreign countries...
While, as stated at the outset, we had intended to develop our own proposals on these and other subjects relating to the central government of the University, we have come to the view that it would be wiser if the Overseers and the Fellows would participate in the similar efforts being made by the various faculties. Consequently, we recommend the early creation of a University-wide Committee on Governance which can serve as an appropriate form for the discussion of proposals affecting the structure of Harvard's central institutions. While the Committee should contain representatives of the faculties...
...loved her mother. Carnovsky provides a masterly depiction of a gradually deteriorating personality. He has never read a book, and occupies himself with little that is more lofty than his ever-present daily newspaper (in real Russian, too).

A TIME correspondent, driving from Cairo to Alexandria along the delta highway, spotted a host of mottled-green MIGs using a huge half-completed military airfield near Tanta. At four other places along the four-lane highway, the center strip had been asphalted over, creating a usable impromptu airstrip, and camouflaged hangars scattered along the road seemed to be obvious shelters for dispersing the Egyptian jets...
...heavy with all the graceful moves of a bantamweight, is restrained from dipping into his repertoire much beyond an occasional grimace and a few eye-pops. His performance is perfunctory; he may well have been bored. Kim Novak, one of his seedy band, wearily remarks of herself at the outset: "Sister Lyda's ass is draggin." Indeed, she bestirs herself only for the strategic seduction of Clint Walker, who has no trouble at all playing an oafish, one-dimensional Ranger. Despite The Great Bank Robbery's pretentious effort, the genuinely amusing western remains an elusive specimen...
