...unfortunate that these ethical questions were not debated at Harvard. Such a debate would have gone far toward making science more accountable to the public's needs on this particular issue. But the opportunity has not yet been lost. The Cambridge Experimentation Review Board should recommend that there be a debate held on the federal level about the ethics of recombinant DNA and genetic engineering. At the same time the council should vote that all research should be conducted at a single site, such as Fort Detrick, the former biological warfare laboratory, for several years so the results...
...have just completed reading your Commencement issue and it is tremendous--as a singular piece of student newspaper output, it is one of the best publications I've ever seen. It contradicts all the opinions I had formed of The Crimson over the last two years. In particular, I was very impressed by the quality of your sections on what students were doing after they graduate, what they have done in their four years here, the trivia bit section and your articles on Finley and Riesman.

At stations throughout the U.S., news directors seemed less daunted by the FCC than by local canons. In liberated Los Angeles, for example, all television stations broadcast Carter's Playboy quotes verbatim. But in more decorous Atlanta, hardly any local stations violated the "screw" taboo...
Against these dodges, police are all but helpless-partly because of budget and personnel cuts, although it is difficult to see how even vast hordes of police could stop this particular, elusive racket. Also there has been a concerted lack of interest on the part of the courts and state prosecutors. Only nine buttleggers were sent to jail in New York City last year-seven of them for three months or less...
