Thus, Lloyd served notice that he is no longer the dove on the House Armed Services Committee who helped persuade Congress last year to cut $7.8 billion from the Pentagon's fiscal 1976 budget request; the 8% reduction (to a final budget of $90.5 billion) was the largest since 1953. This year Lloyd and many other members of Congress have become Pentagon converts. Says he: "I am no hawk, mind you. But there has been an increase in the Soviet capacity to wage war. One on one we are still better. But Americans, including myself, perceive a lessening...
...raised $5.5 million, including $1.6 million in matching funds, but he has spent virtually every penny of it. Last week he canceled his Boeing 727 charter plane because of the Government's delay in paying federal grants. He has a bid in for $203,000 and will soon request $300,000 more to match the money he raised privately in March and April. Even President Ford, who has raised $7,724,033, including $1,952,615 in federal matching grants, is waiting for the FEC to hand over another $745,000 to which he is entitled...

His decision should be applauded as an appropriate one. But the Harvard community is also made up of private individuals. As long as they refuse to take the kind of position the administration took last spring in their dealings with companies like Aramco, the University will be tainted by their amorality. Value-free social science does not exist in the real...
...vital that Albert M. Sacks, dean of the Law School, answer Bowman's call for official reaction to Morrison's remarks. At Bowman's request, the Law School Placement Committee submitted a recommendation for further investigation of the case to Sacks in February. Sacks has yet to respond officially to that recommendation. The time has come for Sacks to stop ignoring the issue, and to honor Bowman's request with a thorough investigation of the matter, and, if Morrison cannot disprove his remarks, to reprimand him publicly. Sacks must make it clear to law firm recruiters that, no matter...
