...wouldn't jump to the conclusion that the entire paper's staff was irresponsible and ineffective because of one isolated instance of poor reporting. Most would realize that in the daily operation of a large organization unfortunate accidents may occur. The two recent accidents involving Phillips Brooks House Association summer camps were such unfortunate accidents. However, the coverage of the accidents by The Crimson has been more unfortunate than either event...
...serious mismanagement within the North Yard's PBH headquarters," but I really don't feel Nordhaus is in any position to comment on PBH. He obviously knows little of PBH's legal status or activities, and his comments on the Keylatch accident show how little he knows about summer day camps. The most serious injury suffered in the Keylatch van accident was a fractured collar bone, a common sports injury, not [as serious] an injury as Mr. Nordhaus might have you believe.

...from in front of their bluff-top home in Bolinas, Calif., about 30 miles north of San Francisco, and crashed to the beach below. A year later another 15 ft. vanished, leaving the house just a few feet from the edge of a 160-ft. cliff. So, in the summer of 1984, the Alfords moved their 1,300-sq.-ft. house 32 ft. back from the edge. Then came Valentine's Day 1985. Following unusually high tides, 30 ft. of land dropped into the sea.
