And the proof that Harvard has not yet been seriously hurt by budget troubles is the number of qualified students and professors who flock to the school every year. They come with new ideas for experiments--kept current to meet the demands of new public health problems. Many of the younger men at one time or another have been offered jobs outside the school with a hike in salary, yet they have refused to leave Harvard.

...irons in the fire than her courses on the peoples of Africa. She is American vice president of the Communist-controlled Women's International Democratic Federation, was once president of the federation's affiliate, the Congress of American Women. Last year she did her best to publicize "proof" that the U.S. was using germ warfare in Korea, and last September she flatly refused to tell a Senate internal-security subcommittee whether she was or had ever been a member of the Communist Party...
