...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...
Professors in the Government Department refer to Kearns as a "very special person." And everything about her tenure case has been unusual, an exception to the traditional standards of tenure. If her appointment eventually goes through, she will be the second woman in the department's history, one of the few to rise directly from an assistant professorship to a tenured chair, the department's youngest member, and the only person the Gov faculty ever approved before publication of at least one scholarly work...

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. It used to be that Harvard students--a lot of them anyway--were quite radical, and a few years ago there were building occupations and an active SDS chapter and so forth around here. 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...
