...only previous explosion of this sort. "The Gasbuggy experiment caused about a sevenfold increase in gas yield," they report, "but the value of the excess gas was much less than the cost of the nuclear explosive. More important, the gas released from Gasbuggy is too radioactive for use." AEC spokesmen say that the Gasbuggy blast was designed mainly as an experiment to measure the resulting radiation, not necessarily to produce commercially usable natural gas. Because of new safeguards, they predict, Rulison's radiation will be much lower than Gasbuggy...
...canal and swooped some 60 miles into Israeli-held Sinai, in their deepest penetration since 1967. In the dogfights that developed, Israel claimed five Egyptian jets downed-and, for the first time since 1967, admitted losing a plane to enemy air action (Cairo's ever-optimistic government spokesmen enthusiastically claimed that 19 Israeli jets had been knocked down...
These have not been accidental statements of petty men--they have come from public spokesmen of the American ruling class, a small group of men who own and control the large corporations, the U.S. government, and the universities--including Harvard. They derive their profits and power all over the world. They are the men who sit on the Harvard Corporation and who use Harvard to further their personal interests and those of their class.

...shoe industry," says Congressman James A. Burke of Massachusetts, a chief promoter of curbs, "is seeking a reasonable solution such as quotas based on the 1968 import levels, perhaps allowing for a 5% increase per year." Industry spokesmen claim that expanding imports of leather and vinyl shoes-mostly from Italy and Japan -have for years absorbed all the growth in the U.S. market. Since 1955, imports have risen from 8,000,000 pairs representing only a 1% share of the domestic market to last year's 175 million pairs, or about 21% of the market. "No other industry that...
Further and perhaps most important, deciding what to do cannot be done by Harvard, or some part of Harvard, acting unilaterally. In every area to which this committee has turned its attention, there are already programs underway, organizations formed, spokesmen selected, conflicts apparent. Just as "the" community does not exist. We impinge upon many communities and some of them--perhaps most--are deeply suspicious of Harvard's intentions and capacities. No master plan for community development can or should be devised by Harvard alone, because any action requires first to work out, carefully and over time a subtle and complex...
