Among Yale's 25 Sterling Professors* are Historian C. Vann Woodward and French Literary Critic Henri Peyre. The State University of New York landed Nobel-prizewinning Physicist Chen Ning Yang for a state-subsidized $100,-000 Albert Einstein Chair in Science. Endowments frequently support visiting professorships, such as one at the City College of New York, named after C.C.N.Y. President Buell G. Gallagher, which this year is held by Indian Sitarist Ravi Shankar...
...another meeting, Johnson spent two hours with 15 Harvard professors, including Nobel-Prizewinning Physicist Edward Purcell, who wrote him in August with a list of questions about Viet Nam. The professors, representing the "troubled middle" of academe, neither urged Johnson to get out of Viet Nam nor to leap into an ill-timed bombing pause. But they did want to know whether some move toward de-escalation could be made. "We are groping for ways out of this war," the President said, but he added: "There is absolutely no sign that these fellows want...
Servant or Scourge? The most determined opponent of sonic boom-and of the nation's plans to build a supersonic transport (SST)-is Harvard Physicist William Shurcliff, 58, who worked on the atomic bomb with Vannevar Bush, and is now senior research associate at the Cambridge Electron Accelerator. Six months ago, Shurcliff, with nine friends, founded the Citizen's League Against the Sonic Boom, and membership has since grown to 1,320 in 45 states. In letters to members and newspaper ads, Shurcliff has propounded his fears that the SST might ultimately be permitted to fly at supersonic...
...know what the differences are between different racial groups and there is a strong prejudice against finding out. Suppose you made a study to determine if there are differences between the brains of whites and Negroes and proved it?" Nobel Laureate William Shockley, a solid-state physicist, drew outraged reaction from the scientific community when he charged that "inverted liberalism" raises taboos against research into man's genetic intellectual differences and "paralyzes the ability to doubt...
...months ago, a Harvard physicist named William Shurcliff organized a few friends into the Citizens' League Against the Sonic Boom. The group's members--all nine of them--had the unlikely goal of stopping the development and production of the most mammoth project in commercial aviation history, the multi-billion dollar supersonic transport...
