...individual learning rather than performance on final exams, an emphasis that pre-med courses at Harvard badly need. Although Bamberg may not have been sufficiently wary of the possibility of cheating in the course, his sentiments in structuring it the way he did were unerringly correct. The way to prevent future cheating is to place a premium on learning, as Bamberg did, rather than on rigidly proscribed examination procedures that inevitably lead to intense competition for grades...
...deal does nothing to prevent Nixon from contesting in the courts further efforts to get to the bottom of the scandals known collectively as Watergate. Given the ex-President's refusal to admit any guilt, he may indeed do everything to prevent access. For the sake of history and for the nation's peace of mind, justice should be seen to have been done in Nixon's case; the full and final record should be laid bare, as it was in Spiro Agnew's removal from office...

Losses from theft amounted to about $140,690 for the 1974 academic year as opposed to $96,061 for 1973. Last year Harvard spent more than $1 million on security. This year's sum will definitely be greater...
