That is exactly the goal of the committee's fourth proposal--intensive recruiting of black graduate students and granting of graduate degrees in Afro-American studies. In addition to this long-term benefit, the report says that more black graduates will help "normalize" race relations at Harvard by providing a stock of black advisors and tutors...
...Comfort. In the 1969 contest, 309 hardy snowcatters plowed out of Anchorage on the first leg of a threeday, 600-mile trek to Fairbanks. Propelled by tanklike treads and steered by handlebars attached to a pair of front-running skis, most of the 20 makes of snowmobiles in the race were capable of powering through the snow at 80 m.p.h. on a straightaway.

Then Shatalov, Khrunov and Eliseev landed Soyuz 4 safely some 1,500 miles southeast of Moscow, within sight of recovery helicopters. This display of reentry accuracy overcame the perils of the snowy...
