...Stole the Locomotive?" [Dec. 6] brought back some unique memories. Right after the war, the Hungarian state-owned MAVAG works was ordered to build scores of locomotives for the Soviets as "war restitution." I was in charge of a team of engineers, working in a small town near the Russian border, that commissioned and transferred these engines to the competent Soviet authorities...
Finding the right man to be Secretary of Defense proved a more difficult chore. At first the President-elect considered retaining Clifford, who would have supplied both experience in the job and the Democratic presence that Nixon wanted for the Cabinet.

From the Harvard student's point of view, the bus facilitates socializing--with Lesley as well as with Radcliffe. The Committee on Houses should be persuaded to consider the $20 to $30 not as a "loss" but as the cost of a worthwhile service to the students of Harvard...
