...planning and decision-making processes. Yet would Harvard's Corporation be any more flexible in the face of reasonable opposition from the community, and from students and faculty, to a policy-decision? Harvard's decentralized government and its community-minded Office for Civic and Governmental Affairs would probably never permit an apartheid-gymnasium issue to reach the Corporation in the first place. But in the face of general increase in student agitation, does Harvard need to adjust its constitution?

If they expected that participation at the sit-in would radicalize the students' outlook on society, they failed.

The cold-war code for U.S. nuclear subs requires them to cruise submerged without any radio signals that might permit nearby Soviet trawlers and hydrographic vessels to calculate for possible future use the nuke routes of the U.S. Navy. The Russians, of course, are well aware of those routes anyway, since their own subs travel them frequently...
