...planning officer James T. McGrath says, a "general consensus that a lot more needs to be done" exists among the administration as well as the students. Yet ABLE spokesmen Fiedler and Drickamer stress that "Harvard is not unique" in the problems it poses for the disabled, that it merely reflects conditions throughout society. They feel the University has been cooperative, in view of the problems it faces in meeting their requests. The age of certain buildings does not only present barriers to the disabled but makes the barriers' removal a problem as well. Sever Hall is a National Historic Landmark...
According to the latest earth tremor in New Testament studies, the present scholarly consensus is wrong. John A.T. Robinson, 57, Anglican dean of chapel and lecturer in theology at Trinity College, Cambridge, declares that all 27 New Testament books were produced in approximately the two decades before A.D. 70, and that they are the work of the Apostles themselves or of contemporaries who worked with them. Since Jesus was crucified around A.D. 30, this would mean that the authors knew numerous eyewitnesses to Jesus' life and early church events...
...that point Robinson accepted the consensus typified by German Critic Werner Kummel's listing in 1963 (see chart). But, as "little more than a theological joke," he decided to investigate the arguments on the dating of all the books, a field largely dormant since the turn of the century. The results stunned him.

Here he does a real disservice to his fellow blacks, as well as offends the sensibilities of all members of the Harvard community. While there is not consensus regarding the offensiveness (or lack thereof) of the Lampoon's humor, I think most people certainly understand the HRBSA's concern and sensitivity to the subject. To equate the concern of the HRBSA with a group under investigation for brainwashing and cooperating with a foreign intelligence service is not only...
...major topic of conversation at the Bal Harbour meeting was this year's collective-bargaining calendar, which involves 5 million workers in such key industries as steel, aerospace, communications and coal mining. The consensus is that 1977 wage settlements could be hefty-at least as large as last year's average 8.3% increase for the first year of a contract. Moreover, greater emphasis than ever will be placed on job security...
