...History, it's the last time ever that Crane Brinton will teach. Enough said. People who miss out on Brinton should remember that Near Eastern Languages 190 will be given again next Fall. Not yet a brand name in guts, NEL 190, which counts for history credit, nevertheless gave Brinton a run for his audience last year. Non-Gentiles were most pleased with the grading. Seniors should seriously consider the five History 90 seminars...
...grass looks several shades greener in the Spring Term. There are a few courses for which it might be wise to save room. History 160c sounds like the course which brilliant, tough-minded Bernard Bailyn has always wanted to teach. It concerns the Emergence of the Liberal State. James Thomson will be teaching History 171b which treats American-Far Eastern Relations and will hit Vietnam. Thomson is a good talker who worked in the National Security Council on the Far East. And no Harvard Education is complete without a little James Joyce. Reuben Brower will discuss him and other English...
REMEMBER AGAIN: the law school faculty is principally a teaching faculty rather than one where individual researchers have staked out a particular piece of academic turf to cultivate with the aid of graduate assistants, and jealously to ward off invaders.

Finding no clues in the faces of the other members of the board, the teacher swallowed hard and allowed he could teach it either...
Similar woes afflict all too many of the nearly 300 large-scale planned communities and "new towns" that have sprung up across the U.S. Their troubles are a source of particular concern because architects and developers alike feel that the best of the projects could teach the whole country how to surround homes with a more pleasant environment. Moreover, planners consider new towns a promising antidote to the suburban sprawl. Such haphazard building, they say, could wreck the countryside as the U.S. doubles its stock of housing over the next 30 years...
