...possibility of defection by Coop management personnel if the new board institutes unacceptable or unworkable programs. The Coop's Harvard orientation has always granted M.I.T., and Brown fears that the selection of the entire opposition slate might cause real disaffection down Mass. Ave. M.I.T. accounts for 20 per cent of the Coop's annual $15 million income. "We just can't afford to alienate M.I.T.," Brown said. "If we lost them, the Coop would be in real trouble."

His vote, less than 50 per cent of the total, was the poorest showing of his political career: even in his most difficult early days, as a Republican Senator who was too liberal for the old guard in his party, Morse never encountered so much opposition...
