...Administrative Board is forced to hold special "Double Sessions" and Saturday meetings when an anonymous tipster reveals that virtually the entire staff of the Harvard Independent--"Cambridge's only dinner table weekly"--have at one time or another served as KCIA agents. It is further alleged that many attempted to undermine the American governmental system by "packing" Gov 30 lectures and later taking James Q. Wilson, Shattuck Professor of Government, to lunch...
...famed Old World courtliness seems to be a refreshing contrast to the casual, open-shirt informality of the Labor governments. The Premier is rarely seen in public without a jacket and tie, usually bows to the Israeli flag (no other Premier did this) and is scrupulously polite to his staff. His predecessor, Yitzhak Rabin, was introverted, often seemed indecisive and headed a quarrelsome government tarred by corruption charges.

...photographed in a certain style). He despises hard-sell advertising of the Charmin TV variety, and has no intention of growing just for growth's sake ("Anybody who says you have to branch into other fields is a dope"). All this he has accomplished with a lean, highly paid staff of just ten people. In short, Rogers is proving that the "boutique" ad agency, which flourished mightily in the 1960s but has since been disappearing under cost pressures, can still maintain a place...
