...least congratulate you for mailing your letter at your own expense and without the prestige-and the cost-of a departmental letterhead. In this instance, you showed more intelligence than the managerial minds in University Hall who last spring authorized the use of House stationery for partisan political purposes. It is unfortunate that your intelligence was not sufficiently durable to consign the material on withholding one's telephone tax to a convenient incinerator. The argument of that material may be appropriate for Harvard undergraduates-and, alas, far too many graduate students-but from college teachers, it seems to bespeak...
...meeting Friday night was a political rally organized by a partisan political group to make the case for the war policy in Indochina. The sponsors of the rally called it a "teach-in."

...indicted were two Boyle aides, James Kmetz, on the same charges, and John Owens, the union's secretary-treasurer, on charges of conspiracy and making an illegal campaign contribution.

Adam Yarmolinsky has demonstrated the problems and agonies his former boss endured. Now come Alain Enthoven and Wayne Smith, far less ambitious and partisan, far more technically expert, too. How Much Is Enough? examines the Robert McNamara Pentagon from the authors' special perch in the Systems Analysis office-one of the former Defense Secretary's showpiece creations. With cool precision, Enthoven and Smith make a strong case for McNamara's approach...
...their fastest-growing expenses: the cost of welfare, which now runs to $14.2 billion a year. For their part, the Governors have no objection to Nixon's plan, which would give their states and cities $5 billion of new money in its first year. But they are partisan politicians and political realists. What Mills wants is what they will get, and most of them recognized...
