...aware that the majority of Crimson editors do not share Mr. Ford's political views. I certainly don't either. The actual inequities of his tax proposal should give you enough to criticize; there is no need to resort to distortion. You do a disservice to those of us who may not be lucky enough to have the time during reading period to read the truth in the New York Times. You also further damage your sagging credibility.

Security was all but impenetrable last week at the luxurious Penina Golf Hotel in the seaside resort of Alvor on southern Portugal's Algarve coast. A 600-man police and army cordon ringed the building; commandos with Alsatian dogs on short leads guarded the surrounding twin golf courses; armed troops set up checkpoints on all roads within a 20-mile radius; a navy frigate lay anchored in the bay, and frogmen patrolled the water.

One of the first of the new drugs in the medical armory was discovered by Dr. Edward Freis, a researcher with the Veterans Administration. He had noted from test reports that large doses of an antimalarial drug called pentaquine dramatically lowered the blood pressures of normal men. Figuring that it might do the same for hypertensives, Freis administered it to a patient with severely elevated blood pressure. It worked, and although the patient eventually died of kidney failure (the organ had been badly damaged...
