Miller said after the rally that the University makes no money on its real estate around the Med School. The value of the land increases every year without a proportional increase in rent, he said, so Harvard is actually engaged in "de facto subsidization" of the housing...
...George Aiken made a similar prediction. Those views were given added weight by House Republican Leader Gerald Ford's estimate that half of all U.S. troops will be out of Viet Nam by mid-1970. Senate Republican Leader Hugh Scott contended that the U.S. is approaching a de facto ceasefire.

No one can bring the 6,000,000 Jews of Europe back to life; no one can restore dead Indians to their buffalo hunting grounds; no one can dis-invent the atomic bomb...
