...Culture shock" and the rigors of travel are the diagnoses offered by Dr. Theodore Reed, the National Zoo director who escorted the shaggy oxen to Peking. Mindful of the possible international repercussions, Reed explains that the runny noses and such were partly a temporary reaction to "hearing Chinese spoken instead of English, seeing new faces, new uniforms, new surroundings and eating Chinese hay and grain. Hoof stock don't travel as well as, say, pandas." Sure enough, late last week word came from Peking that Milton and Matilda had recovered. Reed attributes the cure to his recommended treatment...

Uni-Travel in early February offered Harvard students, employees and families a round-trip affinity group flight to Acapulco over Spring vacation. Ryan had complained to Dean Epps about Uni-Travel in February 1971, when Uni-Travel organized a Europe flight with the help of a Law School student. Daniel Steiner '54, General Counsel to the University, began putting pressure...
Steiner, in February 1972, pledged "We will try to stop them (Uni-Travel)." Unfortunately for HSA, Steiner soon became needed for more pressing matters--the issues of whether SDS could hold its national convention on the Harvard campus and then, in April, the Gulf Oil proxy vote and the ensuing takeover of Massachusetts Hall...
