...kept asking him why Senator Goodell's bill for the withdrawal of troops had not been put forth on the floor of the House. He answered that he thought of the idea before Goodell but simply had not put it forth in a bill vet. I asked if he thought the bill would pass and he replied, "No, not in this Congress...
...also reveals the most plausible and terrifying picture vet of what the counter culture is countering. It demands considerable attention. Roszak sees the United States as a technocratic society, in which "those who govern justify themselves by appeal to technical experts who, in turn, justify themselves by appeal to scientific forms of knowledge." Technocracy, to paraphrase an important communist concept, is the highest stage of industrialism: the mature product of a society convinced of the necessity for technological progress and deeply imbued with the scientific ethos. It all meshes quite nearly. Technological progress requires rational expertise, efficiency, order, predictability...
Only 16 students have actually been forced to leave Harvard as a result of the Spring events. Eight have been required to withdraw for one or two years, but may be readmitted afterwards with the consent of vet another disciplinary committee expected to replace the Committee of 15. Five students have been "separated" from the University for one or two years, but can return on a majority vote of the Faculty. Three students have left the campus for good, dismissed on a two-thirds vote of the June 9 Faculty meeting...

The drug was actually administered by a veterinarian, Dr. Alex Harthill, who turns out to be something of a controversial figure. Although he is known as "the Derby Vet" for treating such former winners of the race as Carry Back, Northern Dancer and Lucky Debonair, Harthill has twice been implicated in drugging scandals. In 1954, he was suspended "indefinitely" (later reduced to 60 days) by stewards at Chicago's Washington Park for administering a stimulant to a horse...
Four Possibilities. Lou Cavalaris, the trainer of Dancer's Image and a 21-year veteran with an untarnished reputation, admitted last week that he gave his horse Butazolidin six days, or 144 hours, before the Derby. The drug was administered on a vet's prescription-two tablets, forced down the horse's throat with a "balling gun." That was the only time, insisted Cavalaris, that he or anybody in his employ ever administered bute to Dancer's Image. His story suggested that Dancer's Image, through some quirk in his physiological makeup, retained the drug...
