...Crimson, it has been rightly pointed out, do not deal directly with "the Summer School experience"; we have attempted to cover, as we would in the winter months, events of interest to the full-time Harvard and Cambridge community. For that reason, we would of course give much space to the story that a key former Harvard administrator, now holding a key job in educational policy formation and also involved in a federal audit of Harvard's finances during the time when he was in office here, might be switched to another post in the government, even though such...

Shafer can easily sell everything he grows at the mill to retail florists and wholesalers in nearby Bangor...

In the annual "Arms Control Impact Statements," released last week, the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency hinted alarmingly at future "space wars" between the U.S. and the Soviet Union that would be waged with lasers and particle beam weapons.
