Steven H. Kaplan '69, president of the HUC, said that he hadn't decided whether the old or new members of HUC should attend. But, he said, since the representatives will be allowed to talk if called upon, perhaps they should be people who are "familiar with the issues...
...cannot be done by Harvard, or some part of Harvard, acting unilaterally. In every area to which this committee has turned its attention, there are already programs underway, organizations formed, spokesmen selected, conflicts apparent. Just as 'the" university does not exist, so 'the" community does not exist. We impinge upon many communities and some of them--perhaps most--are deeply suspicious of Harvard's intentions and capacities.

...prides himself upon his growing mastery over nature, but in the ultimate biochemical analysis nature remains the master of man. With their most sophisticated laboratory glassware and corrosive reagents, scientists can set off any one of a few thousand bio chemical reactions in an hour or two, but they need to generate unnaturally high temperatures to do the job. Nature can instantly produce millions, or possibly billions, of such reactions at normal body temperature. The agents that effect such biological miracles are enzymes, commonly referred to as "nature's catalysts." They provide no nourishment to animal...

In another part of the country or at any other time of the year, people would see smudging as the grotesque menial work it really is. But in the winter, California teen-agers who shun lawn-mowing will lie on top of their beds, dressed in innumerable mittens and sweaters, waiting for The Call...
