Carter said he would admit the manual because it did not refer to any specific operation. But he turned down Browning's efforts to enter another document on the grounds that it was much too specific. The disputed item was a rough diagram of the floor plan of a North Sacramento branch of the Bank of America. The single sheet of paper carried a handwritten note by Patty: "saw 7 employees: 5 women & 2 men (1 young & nervous. Manager is fat & Black...
Instead, like everything else at Harvard, birth control is quietly decentralized. Out of the basement of Stoughton in Room 13, students give tips on the latest birth control methods or refer people to favorite doctors at the University Health Service. On the third floor of UHS, a social worker passes on information about the morning-after pill or abortion.

Something should be said early on, in this newly-revived column of press clips, about the dean of press clips himself, Dr. Press Clips, the successor to Hunter S. Thompson for our favorite cult journalist. We refer, of course, to Alexander Cockburn--pronounced Coeburn. For our money (and this is one of his favorite phrases), he is the best around. His weekly columns in The Village Voice have an obsessive quality, achieving for the mid-seventies what Dr. Thompson did for the violence and insanity of the Nixon years. Nixon's debacle finished Thompson--it was a final irony...
