Pusey's tenure will soon be a matter for the historians of Harvard to evaluate. Doubtless, he will rate a chapter in the sequel to Morison's Three Centuries of Harvard, whenever that is written. Already, he is starting to be memorialized-the Harvard News Office has issued a comprehensive outline of the Pusey presidency, The Pusey Years at Harvard, in handy pamphlet form for reference use by journalists and alumni...
...surface, Kissinger believed that America's withdrawal could best be pursued through negotiation. Part of this belief doubtless sprang from what one colleague later called a "David Susskind syndrome," the notion that on first meeting one's opponent face to face the conflict could rapidly be solved; but Kissinger's optimism was borne of a deeper attitude that the NLF and the North Vietnamese, dedicated revolutionaries though they were, would one day be responsive to the overwhelming power of the American military, that they could be threatened and-if necessary-beaten into submission...
That leaves the Egyptians. As a Western diplomat in Cairo said recently: "No one really knows what the Egyptian army is thinking. They were fueled with the rhetoric of Nasser, and doubtless, feel a longing for that kind of sustenance.

It could then be that the pressure would bear down hard...
...Last week the North Vietnamese delegate to the Paris peace talks, Xuan Thuy, invited negotiations on a fixed-date withdrawal of U.S. troops, suggesting that if the date is set, discussions on the release of prisoners may begin.

Nixon replied at his press conference that he would not set a date until Hanoi offered "not just the promise to discuss the release of our prisoners but a commitment...
...there is another aspect of the Weinrub case which threatens to be even more pernicious. At the committee hearing, CRR chairman Donald Anderson suggested that a central issue in the case would be the appropriateness of political discussion at what was intended to be a scientific meeting. There are doubtless some people who find this dichotomy appealing, but to impose it as a code of conduct is an even more concerted attack on the idea of free exchange than are all the charges of conspiracy. There are many who believe that Land's theories of colorvision and Polaroid's activity...
