There can be no doubt that the foremost purpose of the honorary degree is theatrical. The University goes to elaborate lengths to keep secret the names of the winners. William Pinkerton, head of the News Office, releases the names of the recipients to the president and photographic chairman of the Crimson at 5 p.m. the day before Commencement, telling them to prepare the Crimson extra without telling anyone else who won.

Talcum powder was sprinkled between the boards to eliminate creaks caused by the movement of cameras. TV crewmen were provided with velvet slippers. Producer-Director Roger Englander boned up on scores so that camera angles could be synchronized with changes...
...investigators also claim that the FTC is reluctant to tackle enterprises that hire high-priced lawyers and is chary of publicizing its findings. The commission, Nader testified recently before the Senate Select Committee on Small Business, has made a study of the auto industry that is being kept secret from the taxpayer, while manufacturers have received copies of the findings. The FTC insists that the report is still incomplete...
