Professor Bowie began reading to me from a xeroxed copy of an unpublished report of the current activities of the Center. I had already read it and I knew that part. During June, 1954, a Faculty Committee on the Behavioral Sciences at Harvard issued a 500-page report that, among other things, called for the establishment of a Center for International Studies. In 1956, McGeorge Bundy, then Dean of the Faculty, formed a new Committee which again advised the creation of such a center. In 1957, Edward Mason, Dean of the Graduate School of Public Administration, was sent to Washington...
...joint committees would have full voting rights in these committees. They would also have the right to participate in Faculty Council proceedings when proposals originating in their committees were being considered by the Faculty Council. They would be entitled to be present at Faculty meetings and invited to take part in discussions on matters relevant to the interests of the joint committees, except at those meetings or portions of meetings at which the Faculty may decide that student participation is inappropriate, such as meetings at which degrees and academic honors are recommended. We do not recommend voting rights for students...

It means an expenditure of time and energy on the part of both faculty and students, time and energy which some may feel might more profitably be devoted to substantive academic concerns. Despite these very real costs, we believe that the balance of advantage for both students and faculty dictates the course we recommend. The need for improved channels of communication between faculty and students is, we think, clear, and the potential benefits, in terms of building a constructive...
During the first part of her visit to Hanoi this feeling of impotence is compounded by her inability to relate to the North Vietnamese who strike her as opaque and child-like in their great generosity and formality. This admission reflects two of her best traits: her refusal to examine any phenomenon with less than all of her formidable critical powers and her honesty. She relies totally on what she sees and feels and will not lapse into cliches. This is quite a feat when you are writing about a nation which your government is trying to exterminate...
