...have advocated outright abolition of ROTC at Harvard as a way of attacking the pernicious Cold War partnership between the military and the universities which ROTC embodies.

But in the absence of any clear majority sentiment in the Harvard community in favor of complete abolition of ROTC, yesterday's decision was the most that anyone could have asked...

Last January, Evelyn took a partnership in the Paris bank and welcomed its head, Baron Guy de Rothschild (TIME cover, Dec. 20, 1963), to a reciprocal partnership at N. M. Rothschild. At the same time, the bank also added three non-Rothschild partners, putting the family in a minority (now 5 to 8) for the first time...
