Last week the President of the AMA personally told me that "doctors should be free to prescribe as they wish," but overlooked that since each doctor is subject to at least $3000 worth of brand-name brainwash per year, each is likely to be a captive of the drug industry. By definition, a captive is not free...
...last week, I thought it might be only nostalgia or naivete that made me think that Harvard yearbooks were once much better-like in my freshman year. But there it was-dark red with black lettering on the cover just like this year's-an honest-to-God book worth saving, with more than a dozen Faculty profiles, good features on Harvard music and the Design School, and a long anthology of the best writing from undergraduate publications. Harvard would never buy the intensely orderly rah-rah spirit behind most high- school yearbooks, but the 1965-66 edition suggests that...
...times, the jog down the byways of the romantic era seemed not worth the effort.

In an attempt to convey the lacquered elegance of a 19th century Paris salon, chamber music soloists performed in a drawing-room setting.

Whenever a new project stalls for lack of funds, a cry rises to the effect of "Well, if we're worth a billion dollars and we have the largset endowment of any private university in the country, why can't we spend a few puny millions to build . . ." a new athletic building for instance. That billion is capital (Bennett stressed), and once we start cutting into capital we're going to get busted...
...rate of increase is made up mainly of value appreciation but it also includes gifts for capital and undistributed "income." Put in more general terms, the investments have increased about two and one-third times every ten years, which leads us to predict that by 1977 they will be worth about $2.4 billion. Isn't this enough -- perhaps even more than enough earning power for the long run? To answer this, we will calculate the long term effects on the investments of increased immediate expenditures and proportionately less saving...
