...demonstration against the Visiting Committee on Economics last Wednesday was an unusual one for Harvard. The protestors had no immediate demands, like "Smash ROTC," or "Promote the helpers." Their purpose, instead, was to point out that the members of the Committee are uniformly prosperous and generally satisfied with the present economic system. This they say, lets the members fit in happily with the way Harvard is, unhappily, run. Such limited representation, however, ignores the attitudes and needs of the larger community the University should be serving...
...wobbly regime, as a possible base for Communist infiltration into Thailand. The Administration worries, also. By overrunning Laos, the Communists would dramatize the fragility of Vietnamization-much more effectively than by another Tet offensive. The casualties from Tet cost Hanoi dearly.

"At her worst," as one London critic observes...
British mod designers who made it big with miniskirts now seem to be straining for fresh sensations. London's latest sartorial smash is a camel's hair maxicoat for dogs. But when the new fashion was promoted in stores and newspapers last week, all of Britain seemed to bark back. Animal psychologists protested that dogs "object to being dressed up." The man at Harrods pet department rejected the coats as downright "impractical." The final word came from the venerable Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which sometimes seems to rival Parliament and Crown...
