Ironically, University officials must now set aside resentment over Reagan's spending and taxation policies, Coddington says, and cling to "one chief hope that the administration program does achieve its ends" in cutting inflation, increasing the Gross National Product, "and building a generally stronger economy, so that there will be money to give to places like Harvard." Yet at the same time, University financial officers will have to use shortfalls in funding from the NSF, the NIH and elsewhere to drum up individual donations.

...raising dinner, the President almost shouted as he promised to whack another $70 billion from federal spending in fiscal 1983 and 1984. "We are going to do it," he declared, "because we have no choice. It has to be done." To those who prematurely complain that the economic recovery program is not working, Reagan defiantly replied: "Well, it isn't. It doesn't start until...
