...Senator J. William Fulbright accused Defense Secretary Melvin Laird of using a "technique of fear." Fulbright has given aid and comfort to neo-isolationists at various times, but he does not advocate unilateral disarmament or the breakup of U.S. alliances.

I wish only to say that selective reductions and adjustments in the amount and balance of research which might be suggested by a sober review would not trigger an unqualified financial catastrophe. To suggest that "Harvard is in deep financial trouble" is to harbor thefinancial instincts of a little old lady school teacher. Harvard is in a financial crisis only in the sense that like every human being it has less money than it would...
