...future, when The Crimson decides to return to printing real news, perhaps a story could be done on Project Literacy's new programs for single mothers and Harvard Dining Services workers. Or maybe a story could be done on the record number of PBHers who go into public interest jobs after graduation. Or on any of PBHA's 60 programs.

...American Radio Company of the Air fills the old P.H.C. Saturday-evening slot (6 to 8 p.m. EST), is now a New Yorker himself, an unstrained and wildly germinating seed in the Big Applesauce. Like all Gotham residents, he told listeners on A.R.C.'s first broadcast, he tries to project an image of aggressive lunacy as he walks the streets, by muttering constantly to himself...
