...aftermath of the takeover, Stephens was forced to withdraw from the University, though for reasons not directly related to the protest. He had been named director of Big Brothers and Sisters, a Phillips Brooks House program that worked to help young kids in the Columbia Point housing projects. In June 1972, Stephens was involved in an attempted theft of furniture from a Harvard House--furniture that was destined for use in the Columbia Point summer program. He was summarily thrown out of Harvard by the Ad Board...
American officials admitted that they had put "tough" pressure on Israel to withdraw, but denied rumors that Washington had threatened to hold up arms supplies. The first U.S. message to Israel to get out was sent on Sept. 18, two days after the intervention.

When the Israelis ignored the demands, one senior Middle East expert explained, "We had to get very deeply involved in pushing for a pullback and cease-fire."

President Park Chung Hee, who came to power in 1961 through a military...
SINCE THEN proponents have barraged the press and Congress with evidence they claim proves that recombinant DNA experiments can be safe. The campaign succeeded last week in getting Sen. Edward M. Kennedy '54 (D-Mass.) to withdraw support from his own bill to legislate regulation of the research. Yet scientific assurances about potential dangers of their experiments have often proved false in the past. Robert A. Millikan, winner of the 1923 Nobel prize in physics, predicted that atomic energy would never be harnessed by man. When that idea was discredited scientists told the public that radioactive fallout was only minimally...
