...Faculty and Corporation. Therefore the Dean is reluctant to push the Faculty too hard for reforms. When Dean Ford says that the CEP cannot push any harder for the HPC's recommendations, then he is either against those proposals himself or he does not want to risk a Faculty reaction to "too much too fast." Students should exert greater pressure on departments to back the measures. On the whole, Harvard's Administration is pro-student while the Faculty is more reluctant to change things...
...doctor (Sidney Poitier) who, in the jargon of the early 60's, "happens to be a Negro." Of course the liberal editor turns out to have trouble practicing what he preaches, whereon the plot of the movie is hinged. William Rose's screenplay offers humor (the girl's parents' reaction on meeting Poitier; his parents' reaction on meeting Miss Houghton), suspense (who will talk to whom in which room next?), and incisive social commentary (we are brothers under the skin).

Besides, says he, "it never entered my head that there was any undue danger...

To draw any meaningful conclusions, researchers must first find a comparable group of children who have not been exposed to TV; but alas, in the U.S. there is no such group. What studies have been made are largely peripheral. Yes, Video Boy devotes half an hour less to playtime than did the pre-TV child. No, TV does not discourage reading, but if anything, stimulates it. Yes, TV does help develop such prereading skills...
