...want to thank TIME for the one sensible description of the Argentine situation [July 8] I have read in American news media. Everybody seems to stress the rupture of democracy, not realizing that there are things more damaging to a country than that, like the utter demoralization of the people arising from lack of leadership, economic chaos and a policy of "do nothing" that Argentina cannot afford...
...Dunn to the Mastership of Quincy House. The Lowell House Honor Guard was invited because Master Dunn is a former associate of Lowell House. At no time did either Mr. Schapack or myself explain "somewhat sheepishly" [or otherwise] that "it was the day before the opening of classes." Thank you for printing this correction. Robert E.

Come off it Gary, David, Douglas, Paul! How about a little less whining and a little more determination as we thank God that we were not born in time for Okinawa, Iwo Jima, Omaha Beach and Guam. Those young guys were inconvenienced too, you know. Because they were, you've got your precious freedom and college education...
