...Iced Cucumber Soup ($.50 small; .90 large) was tepid, and had an unusual but forgettable taste. The Ratatouille, filling for Omlettes ($1.75) or Crepes ($2.25) was a mockup of zuchinni and tomato paste...
...company of which Harvard was a major stockholder and of which Harvard treasurer George Bennett sat on the Board of Directors. More vexing problems arose with the first Campaign GM in 1970, when the University was faced with several dissident proxy items to vote for or against.

The Chinese are unhappy with Hanoi for switching prematurely to a large-unit campaign against their advice, instead of building up the Communist political infrastructure in South Viet Nam. The Sino-Soviet rivalry is also a factor in Peking's tepid backing of Hanoi. North Viet Nam's tanks, artillery and antiaircraft weapons come from the Russians; if Hanoi wins its battles using them, it will be a blow to the Maoist doctrine of "people's war" and a boost for Soviet power in Southeast Asia. Moscow could then point to Viet...
