...capital's crisis mood was further fueled by an unexpected development in Havana: Fidel Castro, it was learned, was going to hold a Friday press conference, and he wanted U.S. journalists there. While there was no indication of what the Cuban leader would say, no one in the Administration expected words of conciliation, and Castro did not disappoint them.

He says far larger gains are possible from introduction of energy-efficient design to construction and industry.

When high government officials visit Harvard, they huddle with "the experts," the upper echelon of Harvard that masquerades as a government consulting firm. (Or is it the other way around?) For appearance's sake, they crank out a perfunctory speech for "the University community." Yet 700 students show up to hear it. It's The Harvard Experience, students playing their role, with Brown going...
