...Bunting argues that resident students would otherwise be taxed to maintain facilities such as the library, the Radcliffe offices (the Dean's office, the financial aid office, the admissions office, etc.) which benefit all students. To prove her point, she gave a rough breakdown of college expenses at a Radcliffe Government Association meeting last semester. Critics remained unconvinced and one termed the explanation "a whitewash...
...spate of court cases to decide the extent of Avatar's social disutility was still pending. Actually, given their past performances, it is unlikely that the higher courts of the Commonwealth, much less the U.S. Supreme Court, would ever bar the frank, satirical publication.

The near-perfect results may enable NASA to cancel plans for a second unmanned LM flight and to move directly into a manned orbital flight-to check out LM's life-support systems-late in 1968. Looking further ahead, LM's success has also raised hopes...
