...style" goes on. Permit me to suggest that Mr. Nixon is, above all, tough-minded. The nation has never been more ready for such a quality of mind. Toughness, by definition, is like leather-durable, flexible, dynamic, and should in no sense be equated with hardness-inflexible, brittle and weak. Our new President will need-and possesses-firmness, judgment, commitment, compassion and dedication. History, of course, will make the ultimate judgment. I believe that the times demand these qualities and that President Nixon will demonstrate them...
Besides those who are exempt from jury duty, like lawyers and doctors, a number of others are excused because they are hard of hearing, have ill spouses, suffer from weak bladders or cannot stand the economic sacrifice. John Carmody, an American Bar Association specialist on court procedures, reports that many people who want to avoid long service purposely do not register to vote (since jurors are often picked at random from voting lists).

...totally controlled by the Harvard faculty and the presence of subjects that can only be defined as military (professional) skills--would not be an appropriate action for the Harvard faculty. I question whether the Harvard faculty would wish to engage in a witch hunt to identify and challenge all "weak courses" offered by the various departments of the university. Better, in my judgment, is an action by the faculty to cause a thorough reappraisal of the ROTC curricula, within the framework of flexibility available to each service, that would make the ROTC courses of acceptable quality...
