...Herrnstein article on I.Q. has created much genuine intellectual controversy around the country (vide the current Atlantic). Perhaps there would be more here at Harvard if SDS hadn't refocused the debate. Far from deserving praise for "raising the issue," the members of the SDS-UAG anti-Herrnstein campaign--though their behavior lies outside the disciplinary reach of any rational system of academic justice--deserve the censure and contempt of all members of this community...

Two or three satellites would pro vide the U.S.S.R. with communications day and night. This may be all that the Russians are planning, but a powerful satellite sending strong, clear radio propaganda mixed with entertainment to the transistor radios that swarm in every country would be a powerful and potentially dangerous influence. The J.S. could...
