Harvard organizers of the fast expect to raise $5000 from the event and related contributions. Students at Boston College have contributed $11.000 and undergraduates at Tufts University approved a referendum this week to send $5000 to OXFAM from the university's student activity fund...
Members of the Harvard Hunger Action Committee (HHAC), noted a high consciousness on the Cambodian situation and an encouraging response to the fast effort. "Once students recovered from the shock of what's happening, they've gotten more and more upset and are realizing that money must be made somehow." Manva Blumberg '81, a member of the HHAC said yesterday.

Henry A. Kissinger '50 remembers all too well the New York Times' disclosures in 1967 of foundations that channelled Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) money into "patriotic causes" back in the 1950s.

There was a marked liberal-slate loyalty among the city's voters; if they voted for one liberal on Cambridge's complicated preferential ballot, 90 per cent of the time they would vote...
...Take a student who has never been to Italy, never really seen, let alone looked at Italian art, never read any Italian literature, hasn't the vaguest notion about the mind-bending complexity of Italian history. Don't tell him who Lorenzo de Medici was, or make him read the Florentine historians, but instead make him read Lopez's theory of the relation between economics and culture in the Renaissance. Then make him read what some scholar said about some other scholar's interpretation of Lopez. Then ask him for his opinion about the Renaissance. This is the scenario...
