...view with alarm TIME'S account [Sept. 12] of our present wheeling-dealing man in the White House(s). It used to be comforting that Truman was satisfied to be poor; that Eisenhower achieved security through royalties; that Roosevelt and Kennedy possessed inherited wealth; and that even L.BJ. had Lady Bird. But will a President who has already gained so much from inflation, and who stands to gain so much more, feel impelled to fight it for the rest of us?

...view the film is poorer for it. Nothing in Easy Rider's endless shots of motorcycles (stolen, as was some of Roger Corona's work in Wild Angels-in which Fonda also starred-from Kenneth Anger's incantatory Scorpio Rising ) matches the groaning ferocity of Steppenwolf's lyrics ("Get the motor running/Shoot out on the highway / Looking for adventure / And whatever comes our way / Hey darling gonna make it happen / Take the world in a love embrace / Fire all of our guns at once and explode into space") and these disjunct moods clash to disengage the viewer...

While, as stated at the outset, we had intended to develop our own proposals on these and other subjects relating to the central government of the University, we have come to the view that it would be wiser if the Overseers and the Fellows would participate in the similar efforts being made by the various faculties. Consequently, we recommend the early creation of a University-wide Committee on Governance which can serve as an appropriate form for the discussion of proposals affecting the structure of Harvard's central institutions. While the Committee should contain representatives of the faculties...
