Kaufmann's memo to Watson, which set the merger in motion last fall, stressed that Watson should "presume that comparability [of Radcliffe to Harvard athletics] can be accmplished, rather than presume the problem is insoluble." Kaufmann referred not only to women's skill levels but also their access to Harvard's facilities, practice areas, and finances...
...supporting the President. Pollsters identify them generally as people who are older, less well-schooled, conservative and more than likely Southern. The question is whether many of them are for the President or for the presidency-like monarchists, identifying the ruler with the country. Charles W.

The memo is evidence of a certain sickness of mind and of a cynicism that Nixon has based his entire career on. Because...
