...Unfortunately, there is but a minority of people who really care about our country's health. Their cries for reform are lost in the fights for higher wages and prices spurred on by the apathetic majority and those who now wallow in the muck of affluence. Rather than live in this society of increasing crime, pollution, racial unrest and inflation, they leave the country...
...most significant of the suggested reforms, which numbered more than 500, dealt with the development of creativity and dissenting viewpoints within the department. Quite simply, the report asked that innovation be viewed as the norm rather than the exception, proposing the creation of adversary procedures that would routinely challenge policy shibboleths.

Second, the most inflammatory quotation appearing in your article, our manager's statement: "We would rather sing alone than sing with the Radcliffe Choral Society," must not be taken out of context. It is to be applied to the football concert only and is nothing more than a translation of the idea that the Harvard Glee Club should appear at least once during the year as the Harvard Glee...
