...said Nixon. "We've economized. But we can do even better. Now let's do better." The President gave the floor to Romney, who made his pitch: "The economic decision-makers are convinced that inflation will continue. Having put our hand to the plow to curb inflation, we must convince the economic decision-makers that we are not going to turn away. A little difference can make a big difference." More specifically, Romney proposed a 21% slice in all departmental budgets, which would reduce the total to $198.5 billion. He suggested a further economy of $1.2 billion...
GROUND FORCES will number about 50,000 (if the military men get their way). The U.S. is likely to keep two airmobile divisions, probably the 1st Cavalry and 101st Airborne, each with about 450 helicopters, on hand after the other fighting units have been withdrawn. These units will serve as "fire brigades," taking advantage of their mobility to rush to any location where it appears that the ARVN (Army of Viet Nam) is in trouble. Even then, they are meant to take no part in the main fighting. Instead, they will free regular ARVN or militia units for combat...

Gazing down with Compassion at the charging, wildly braying, thundering Hordes, a Talon grazed near...
HARVARD needs an elected central student government. All the new committees have Faculty members: none has even a majority of students. Furthermore, each is limited to a specific area of undergraduate concern. On the other hand, efficiency and the lack, even at Harvard, of enough presidential contenders would make it difficult to hold annual elections both for these Faculty committees and for some sort of separate student council. It is difficult enough to organize any student election here with a straight face, and legitimacy comes almost in inverse proportion to numbers. The fact that the Supercouncil would draw its members...
