...during a debate over dormitory visiting hours, the CRIMSON used the word "sex" in a headline, and the next day the nation woke up to news of a sex scandal at Harvard. Two years later, when Faye Levine '66 launched her clever campaign for Harvard Class Marshal, the papers couldn't write enough about this encroachment on the male domain. When Linda G. McVeigh '67 was elected the first female managing editor of the CRIMSON so much publicity attended the event that she stopped answering the telephone.

He is in every way a professional jurist and a man of unquestioned probity, with the Midwestern virtues that Nixon so much admires. If, as expected, Nixon appoints...
Most Nonchalant. In Washington, D.C., where the film is also playing, the scandal has been federal and political rather than civic and general. Charging that it showed "open fornication" on the screen, Senator Everett Dirksen cited the film as yet another reason for supporting his bill to limit Supreme Court power in obscenity hearings. Had he seen the film himself? "Lord, no," the Senator rumbled. That, and six letters to the theaters, have been the sole Washington grumbles to date...
