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...
...been used to kill, he withdraws completely from men, refuses to speak again, and swims away to sea. If it is not careful, the Navy may yet have to send out an all-points bulletin that one or more of their dolphins is missing.

When Indira Gandhi offered help, a Pakistani official told the Indian High Commissioner: "We don't know if it will be needed." The Pakistanis refused Indian helicopters, mobile hospitals and river craft, doubtless because they were worried that New Delhi might look better than Islamabad. Indian Airlines transports loaded with relief supplies were refused permission to land at Chittagong because the crews did not have visas. New Delhi was told to send the stuff by truck instead; less conspicuous...
