Like the swimming test Mrs. Widener demanded and the Polaroid camera shape of the Science Center, the steam tunnels are a part of Harvard legend. A cloudy mixture of fiction and fact, their dimensions expand with each prankster's tale and their history grows more fantastic. One story tells of a sly undergraduate who, dressed as a workman, avoided the winter snows by travelling to classes through the tunnels. During the 1969 occupation of University Hall, another rumor has it, Harvard administrators escaped invading protesters by fleeing through the underground passages. Once upon a time, the wrestling team jogged through...
...roundup of Italian terrorists was carried out under a stringent security blackout. Much of the evidence seized at the hideouts was reportedly related to the kidnaping and murder last spring of former Christian Democratic Premier Aldo Moro, 61.

...only a few companies have pulled out. Polaroid canceled its dealings with a South African licensee because its film was being used on the infamous passbooks that blacks and coloreds are required to carry and show upon demand to the police. Citibank will no longer make loans to the South African government; the First Pennsylvania Bank will give no loans of any kind. GM, Kodak and Control Data have said they will not expand their South African operations...
