...doesn't make sense that Harvard is unable to enlarge the kitchen, remove the steamtables, and install a dish return tunnel during the summer of 1969, especially since Harvard summers are four months long. Since the Administration has offered no other evidence, it seems that money lies at the root of this problem: it's probably cheaper to close the dining hall for eight months. Yet, even granting that construction plans for Mather House require that the dining hall be closed, the plans could be changed.

There is the familiar castigating of white liberals, the spewing forth of raw and undigested hate...
...cover story, November 23, 1931 Time recognized him as a sports figure of national prominence. "Although a mediocre runner and at times an uninspired field general," Time said, Wood has managed to win the hearts of the most ardent South Boston Harvard-haters. Even "the Boston and Cambridge policemen root for him," the Yale-biased magazine said...
