...abortion services that Harvard does provide students with are minimal at best: It will refer patients to clinics or hospitals in the area (or, in the case of an extremely late pregnancy requiring a saline abortion or hysterotomy, to hospitals in New York) where an abortion and counseling can be done. Its basic Blue-Cross/Blue-Shield plan does not cover abortions unless there are "therapeutic" reasons (Bisbee said "most women who come here will not be covered under these reasons"), meaning if there is a "threat by physical or mental illness to life or limb...
...announced that it intends to require the inclusion of an appropriate warning in the labeling of oral contraceptives. But this "labeling" does not refer to the little sticker that the pharmacist puts on the bottle or box of pills. It refers to the fine-print technical information that drug companies supply only to pharmacists, doctors and to the publisher of the widely used book, Physicians' Desk Reference. Thus it will still be up to the conscientious doctor to convey the warning to his patients...
...late Senator Joseph McCarthy used to refer to Harvard as the "Kremlin on the Charles" and "a smelly mess," and most of you will probably notice that people here are to the left of the people back home.

Conservative alumni--one never hears about liberal alumni--are supposed to be in a constant froth about Harvard's extreme liberalism. In 1968 Harvard president Nathan M. Pusey...
...have proved every bit as disappointing as wells drilled in the continental U.S. In 1973 the Destin fields looked so lucrative that oil companies bid a record $1.49 billion for leases. After drilling 14 dry holes, Exxon, Shell and three other producers pulled out their rigs, and oilmen now refer to that ill-fated venture as "the Destin Anticlimax." They remain confident that other offshore sites-mainly along the Eastern seaboard and the California coastline-will produce better results, perhaps yielding as much as 2 billion bbl. during the balance of the century. Whether their optimism is well founded will...
...pledging to submit to the rule, the newsmen were signing away their freedom, since the new restrictions made it illegal for reporters to quote opposition speakers, refer by name to any political prisoners, including some 30 jailed opposition members of Parliament, publish anything "likely to denigrate the institutions of the Prime Minister or the President," or even mention that published material had been censored. In sum, the press was left free to publish government handouts...
