...penetrate Kennedy's private reserve, Washington Bureau Chief Robert Ajemian met with him in two settings where the Senator is most at ease: his small hideaway office in the Capitol, once occupied by Brother. Jack, and the library at his McLean, Va., home. Ajemian also drew upon insights into Kennedy developed over 16 years of covering him, first for LIFE and later for TIME...
...money for the arts that comes from Bok's discretionary fund provides capital for programs that deal more directly with the analytical and philosophical side of the arts. "Learning from Performers" is one such program. Each year it brings guest artists to Harvard to work on a small scale with undergraduates. Last year, the program brought the director of Broadway's Pacific Overtures. He ran a three-part seminar with students interested in theatrical direction. This year the office will offer seminars with tenor Paul Sperry and playwright Jonathan Levy. Sculptor Ann Sperry will offer a seminar as well...

While federal officials do not normally think of women's colleges as lobbyists, "President Horner is listened to as an individual," Joy Simonson, director...
However, in most cases, Radcliffe and other women's colleges get their views known through groups of universities and colleges with established names in Washington. Burton I. Wolfman, administrative dean of Radcliffe who handles some of the college's federal contacts, says that Radcliffe, like many small colleges, goes through consortia such as the American Council on Education. Radcliffe also lets the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities do some of its work, and Horner, at one time or another, has sat on the boards of similar groups...
