November 10: The Medical School revealed plans for a new program of pre-paid community health care. Med School planners said they hoped the plan would lead a national shift away from antiquated systems of dispensing medical care. The Harvard Community Health plan would set up a health center in nearby Roxbury and would emphasize preventative medicine as a way of keeping its patients out of the hospital...

Harvard's old nemesis, City Councillor Alfred E.

Because of this expansion cabal, SDS argued, any housing duced by the universities or local government would not be low-income but rather moderate and high-income, to house the technicians...
