...clear that everyone involved in reaching that conclusion felt sadness and dread at the thought of the use of police within Harvard Yard. However, I remain convinced that, all things considered, there was no real alternative. Many members of the Harvard community--perhaps a majority at present--do not share that conviction. But I should like to explain the considerations which finally determined the move in the hope that they will at least be carefully considered by everyone arguing about...
...Britain. Imports from West Germany nearly doubled last year, to $115 million. The bulk consisted of machinery and steel, including supplies for the trans-Negev oil pipeline built to bypass the Suez canal. Consumer goods, notably more than $10 million worth of autos, took up a good share of the total. Though many Israelis still flatly refuse even to ride in a Volkswagen-and more than just a few North American Jews will not consider buying VWs-German autos outsold those of all other nations in Israel last year.

Wellesley-educated Ali MacGraw is one of the few models who have successfully managed to switch from magazines to movies without being a hollow-cheeked embarrassment-but at a price. At 30, she has made a late start in the business. Her subdued, ivy-league beauty has, however, retained its freshness. And her performance, which swings with intricate calibration from poignance to petulance, happily compensates for a lot of lost time...
