...stifling environment that man is creating for himself can be halted and the trend reversed, Udall argues. However, the task involves an unprecedented degree of communication and cooperation among communities, cities, states and national governments, as well as corporations and foundations. Overview hopes to be the catalyst. Its undertakings could range from locating a factory in a rural area so that it would enhance rather than despoil the environment, to designing whole new cities and sanitizing polluted international waterways...
Pierre Cardin is the Parisian fashion designer who first put models in crash helmets, matched short skirts with colored stockings and more recently dressed men and women in futuristic space suits. Fashion experts rank him among the top five trend-setting designers, along with Yves St. Laurent, Courreges, Ungaro and the House of Dior.

The men who sat on the Rosovsky committee were not naive. The examples of Brandeis and San Francisco State were as clear to them as to anyone. And even though that kind of violence may never have seemed a plausible threat here, the committee members must have been aware of the subtler pressure they faced in determining Harvard...
