...hardly dared utter a word in public for fear that his own unpopularity would rub off on exposed Democratic candidates, had a President remained so sequestered from a national election campaign. Lyndon Johnson had not exactly planned it that way.

Together, the Cronkite and Huntley-Brinkley reports are watched by an estimated aggregate of 30 million people, and it is claimed that 70% of that audience is made up of adults. One particularly popular news special, such as Pope Paul's visit to the U.S. last year, can easily focus the attention of 150 million viewers. Even at the dullest point of the Fulbright hearings on Viet Nam, several million people were tuned...

Until recently, the North American had just about the stiffest discipline of any of the national colleges: students could not talk at meals or visit each other's rooms, were only allowed to leave the college in groups of three. "It's like the Russian guards in Berlin," explained one seminarian. "If one tries to get away, the other two can shoot him." Things have gradually eased up since the Most Rev. Francis...
Prince Souvanna Phouma, premier of Laos, will be an official guest of Harvard today. His tentative schedule calls for a tour of the University at noon; lunch at the home of John Kenneth Galbraith, Paul M. Warburg Professor of Economics; a visit to Widener Library and the Fogg Museum; a talk with George P. Baker, dean of the Business School; and dinner at Quincy House, with a speech there afterwards...
