...responsible for the situation which obtains in Afro-American Studies today. I therefore think it important, practically and symbolically, that the Harvard Faculty recognize through new legislation that it alone is responsible for rectifying the intellectual shambles it created in Afro-American Studies in April, 1969. These shambles, which stem from the faculty's decision to toss its standards to the winds in face of threats of violence in 1969, require discrete procedures for their removal and I would have more confidence in the success of these procedures if they are entrenched in faculty legislation...
Although the proposed requirement of "balance" may at first glance seem to be a commendable stimulant to open discussion. Whitehead emphasized that this new regulation is aimed at the too liberal and too-hostile national media. The "ideological plugola" that Nixon hopes to stem can be understood to include documentaries on hunger in America and on the Pentagon, as well as the announcement of casualties for the day and year in Vietnam. In fact, "taste" and "balance" are so vague that they could apply to any commentary and to any amount of reporting of a subject which Nixon objects...
...STOWE, VT. Though Mount Mansfield (4,393 ft.) is only a foothill by Alpine or Rocky Mountain standards, it offers what many consider the finest skiing in the East.

The average cost of a week's vacation, including meals, moderately priced sleeping accommodations* and lift tickets...
...congressional subcommittee is currently investigating the Kitty Hawk riot, along with racial outbreaks on the carrier Constellation and the oiler Hassayampa, to determine whether or not such problems stem from a lack of discipline in the Navy. Meanwhile, the manner in which the Kitty Hawk conducts its courts-martial will also be watched carefully. A biracial Pentagon task-force report on military justice, released last week by Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird, charged that there was a definite pattern of discrimination against blacks in the meting out of punishment. The report gave substance to black sailors' claims that recent...
...days to deal with the larger problems of peace in Viet Nam and presumably the rest of Indochina as well. Paris is questionable as a site because Saigon feels that France is partial to the North Vietnamese; Geneva is out, since Hanoi has bitter memories of the city that stem from the 1954 and 1962 conferences. Among the other possibilities: Copenhagen, Vienna, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or a Swiss city other than Geneva. The North Vietnamese are also eager to discuss the U.S. plan to bankroll a $7.5 billion Viet Nam reconstruction program; it is possible that the program will involve...
