Many Americans, he said, think that they can escape rising medical costs by the "knee-jerk reaction" of asking the Federal Government to provide "some kind of a system of free medical care." Declared Nixon: "I don't want to see the Government become so overwhelming that it will suppress this sort of institution...
...sewage system and poor telephone service. After a hurricane, the roughly paved streets are often under water for days. The architecture might best be described as "Florida nondescript."

It would have been not just out of character but also inappropriate for the Corporation to have taken a stand against the war. As President Pusey said with some justice last year, nobody, under the present system, can legitimately speak for Harvard University on a political question. Galbraith suggests it should be otherwise, but doesn't begin to explain what the composition of the body that represents the University should be or on what sort of issues it must take stands...
