...sometimes been said that the aim of most Harvard undergraduates is to spend four years in Cambridge as little encumbered with work as possible. With this in mind, the CRIMSON here presents an article by Donald Carswell '50, written some years ago and reprinted from time to time...
Nixon's problem, Barber says, is a failure to communicate; it stems from "a very strong drive for personal power-especially independent power-which pushes him away from reliance on any one else."

Such changes, says Mother Gemma, "are based on the need to intensify the impact, yet to leave the basic idea untouched." Foremost is the contemplative's devotion to a life of prayer-and at Dachau especially, that goal does not seem inappropriate for the 20th century...
