...those factors didn't prevent the Corporation from nearly cancelling the extension, failing for one tense week to find the financial flexibility necessary to fund the wing. When pressured, however, Bok took the small step of giving Fogg director Seymour Slive a three-week fund-raising grace period, and--as was predictable--Slive found the necessary $3 1 million. Again, it was only strong outcries that prevented Harvard from giving critical University values short shrift.

Skillfully exploiting an opening for his cheery brand of showmanship, Vereen guided some 500 of the school's five-and six-year-olds through their "do-re-mis" and "ABCs." Old Macdonald Had a Farm, an old stand-by that...
