Delphic Marxism. In the past, most nonmilitary research was collected piecemeal from various study centers. The one really systematic attempt to keep scholarly pace involved science; translated editions of U.S. technical journals were distributed regularly to Soviet specialists.

As a result of this turnabout, Russian specialists began taking a new look at dozens of U.S. phenomena-from the rebellion of youth, which has its parallels in Russia, to the glut of automobile traffic, which...
Responding to such satisfactions, cruising sailors are how taking to the high seas in unprecedented numbers. During his stopovers at various ports, Eddy estimates that he met an "international community" of more than a hundred people sailing their boats around the world. In the port of Durban, South Africa, he docked with 15 other globe-girdling boats.

Special efforts should be made to invite such people to serve as visiting members of the Faculty and fellows of the Center or Institute...
...students wish to withdraw from the general cultural life of Harvard, or its Houses. They strongly urge, however, that the various elements of the University, and most especially the Houses, make greater efforts to bring more black artists and art, black visiting speakers and writers, to the College--for the benefit not only of black students but of the larger community. We strongly recommend that Masters, House Committees, and other bodies, make a greater effort to secure such visits, in co-operation with the black students, who have expressed an eagerness to assist the House Masters and others in securing...
