Though they may not have subscribed to Church's hyperbolic analogy, the U.S. Senators approved his point. Last week the Senate passed, by a vote of 70 to 16, a resolution that advises Presidents to ask the consent of Congress before they ever again commit the U.S. overseas. The measure does not have the force of law, but merely expresses the "sense of the Senate." It nevertheless will stand as a clear warning that the Congress will not meekly accept unilateral presidential initiatives in foreign affairs...
Divorces have been difficult to obtain in Italy since ancient times. Ac cording to legend, Romulus authorized them for Roman men for only three wifely misdeeds: adultery, child poisoning, or changing the lock on the bed room door. The Emperor Justinian was seemingly easier. He allowed divorce by mutual consent, but there was a catch-22. The divorcees were expected to take a lifelong vow of chastity. Caesar dallied with Cleopatra on the Nile but could never marry her, presuming he had wanted to, because there was Calpurnia back at home, and she was above suspicion and therefore un-divorceable...
Formal announcement of the decision is expected in November, when Sato visits Washington. Reversion will probably come in 1972.

The 1650 Charter states that the Corporation has "perpetual succession," so its members fill any vacancies themselves. It could choose anyone--students, faculty, Cambridge police--with consent of the Overseers, though traditionally it selects only Harvard College graduates (with the current exception of William L. Marbury, whose only Harvard degree is from the Law School...
...Nathan Pusey will leave his post in 1973, when he reaches the retirement age of 66 which Harvard imposes on administrative officers. Since the President and Fellow have "perpetual succession" under the University's 1650 charter, the Corporation will choose his replacement, subject only to consent of the Overseers. Within will form a search committee to begin the next year or so the Corporation looking for a new president, and the men on this committee will talk to "an infinite variety of sources," according to Sargent Kennedy, secretary of the Corporation...
