...examine the facts presented to us as a result of Mr. Bowle's survey. First, he says that "The sample is sufficiently large to establish its main conclusions." In the first place, let me point out that this class is not a random sample of Harvard students--even less so than other classes because of its politically oriented topic. Therefore, any claims that the 163 students of Soc Sci 125 stand for "Harvard" are questionable, to say the least...
...would question, however, that Harvard students come from generally high-income families. Mr. MacEwan, however, draws the conclusion that "the survey provides an economic lesson about the tie between education and income." I would suggest that to turn "Harvard" into "education" is a gross distortion. It is ironic, also, since so many Harvard "radicals" think they know much more than anyone else about the nation's problems...
...confronting the Middle East, there was no time for exhaustive review before a decision was made. The new Administration inherited insistent pressure for concerted action by the four big powers. A hurried staff survey produced seven options that really amounted to three broad choices: do nothing, press for an overall settlement, or work for smaller measures of amelioration. The first and third alternatives were dismissed. Too much is at stake in a situation that some in Washington compare to the pre-World War I Balkans. At his first press conference, Nixon stressed this grave view. Then the Administration answered...

Having burrowed down 3,500 ft. below the ocean floor, the riggers than began to retrieve the pipe in order to replace a drill bit. At a point during the withdrawal, the drilling "mud," which...
Unbelievable Velocity. With these characteristics in mind, researchers in Sweden, at Princeton and at Indiana State University have been working on a variety of complex experiments designed to detect tachyons-so far without success. Feinberg himself has suggested a massive, computer-aided survey of existing bubble-chamber pictures of particle collisions, hoping that someone may find a pattern that will confirm the presence of tachyons...
