Schmidt says he is not an exception because he has spoken to so many students at Harvard and Radcliffe who are dissatisfied, restless, or bored, but who do not have any "outlets." He believes Harvard could be better structured to help students find those outlets. Although he says PBH is not the answer for everyone, he hopes to help make students' involvement in the community a meaningful option. Community work is "not the way Harvard is slanted." Schmidt says, but perhaps through worthwhile programs and increased publicity, PBH can help change Harvard's slant...

...goal of Henry Kissinger's recent Middle East trip, the Secretary allegedly told newsmen, was "to rescue Rabin from Peres." That may not have been exactly a joke. Israel's soft-spoken but highly articulate Defense Minister Shimon Peres, 51, the second most important man in the Israeli Cabinet, has emerged as his country's leading hawk on the crucial question of how to negotiate with the Arabs. He is thus a man that Premier Yitzhak Rabin (not to mention Kissinger) must reckon with. Peres almost defeated Rabin for the premiership last April, and is a plausible...
