...after it had been settled in her favor is difficult to understand.We happen to be one of Mrs. Luce's admirers. She did a fine job as American Ambassador to Italy. She is one of the nation's most able women. But we think she was wise to resign...
...year-olds in Braithwaite's class, most of them white, were hard and gutter-wise: girls who jiggled provocatively in too-tight sweaters, boys who slouched about in stovepipe jeans.

There is limited time at Harvard, and it would seem both fair and wise to free a little more of it for the student's own choice when he has fulfilled a requirement such as that in General Education...
