In addition thenotice declares' that the planwould not furnish the lightindustry needed to create em-ployment possibilities for bluecollar workers, relieve trafficcongestion, or resolve the prob-lem of the "ever-increasing re-pressire property tax."

The vote approving the plan,the circular said, is not legallybinding and may be changed bythe City Council in the nextyear. In order to accomplish thisthe Cambridge Tenants Orga-nizing Committee intends tocombat the "powerful vestedinterests" supporting the plan bymobilizing the "strong and wellorganized community opposi-tion groups." The vested interestgroups cited by the circular in-.elude universities such as MITand Harvard, the Chamber ofCommerce, and certain real es-'tate developers.

The circular pointed out thata "conflict of interest" question:involving a vested interest arose'when Mayor Sullivan refused todisqualify himself from thevoting on the redevelopmentplan in siite of his connectionwith the Charlesbank TrustCompany, which presently hap'abranch office in Kendall Squareand will be allowed to relocateupon the completion of KendallSquare's redevelopment. Sullivan'is the bank's vice-president and amember of its board of direc-tors.

By Michael GarryA redevelopment plan for

Kendall Square, recently adop-ted by the Cambridge CityCouncil with the support ofMIT, has been harshly criticizedby a Cambridge communitygroup as an attempt to turnCambridge into "a toweringuniversity city."

According to a circular au,thored by the Kendall SquareCommittee of the CambridgeTenants Organizing Committee,MIT helped bring about the City'Council's approval of the'"Neighborhood Plan" by "spen-'ding time and money wooing,our city councilors and otherinfluential people."

The intent of the Neighbor-hood Plan, as described by MIT'administrators, (see The Tech,Oct. 15, 1974) is to turn theKendall Square area into "ifdiversified living environment"offering a broad-range of redeJvelopment possibilities, inclu-ding the construction of lightindustrial plants, retail storesand residential housing The,

.emphasis of the plan, however,has been on housing as opposedto light industry and technicaloffice space, both of which hadbeen underscored by some ofthe other redevelopment propo-sals.

The notice questioned whe-ther the Neighborhood Plan.would benefit the many middleand lower income citizens ofCambridge. It asserted that theplan would not provide needed

lar survey on a smaller scale."DTD has a tradition of service-oriented pledge projects, -and:when we discussed what wewanted to do, I proposed this,"Michaelson explained.

The Consumer Product Safe-ty Commission was contacted inmid-October, and was eager to.have the MIT group conduct thesurvey. The agency, however,wanted the project conductedon a larger scale that DTD could'handle, and so other fraternitieswere invited to join. DU and Fijiaccepted, and the three housesformed the MIT Tri-FraternityPledge Association to conductthe survey.

The Institute is not directly.involved in the project - "Wehave MIT's blessing, but notsponsorship," Michaelson said

By Mike McNameeThree MIT fraternities liave'

applied for a $500 Federal grantto sponsor an unusual sort ofpledge project - removal .ofdangerous toys from Boston areastores.

The grant, which is now beingconsidered by the US ConsumerProduct Safety Commission, willfund an effort by the pledgeclasses of Delta Tau Delta(DTD), Delta Upsilon (DU), and

'Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji) to sur-vey more than 150 Boston-areastores which sell toys, searchingfor playthings that have beennruled dangerous by the con-sumer agency.

The fraternity pledges will beequipped with extensive lists ofof toys found by the consumeragency to be unsafe for a varietyof reasons - shoddy manufac-ture, sharp edges, pointed ob-jects, or breakability. The sur-veyors will inform store mana-gers of any banned toys theyfind on the shelf, and ask thatthey be voluntarily removed. Ifthe toys are not removed, theFederal agency will be informed.

"The pledges doing this sur-'vey will have no authority toorder stores to remove toys,"said Ed Michaelson '78, DTD,who orginated the idea for the

unusual project. "But the Con-sumer Product Safety Commis-sion is pretty strict about follow-'ing up on the violations, andmost stores realize this."

The consumer group has beenworking since 1970, Michaelsonsaid, to remove dangerous toysfrom the market. It generallydoes not have enough staff,however, to conduct extensivesurveys of stores selling toys,and so depends on volunteergroups like the MIT fraternitiesto carry out the canvassing.

The commission has estima-ted that more than 150,000 chil-dren and adults required hospitaltreatment for injuries receivedfrom unsafe toys in the last year.Since the agency began-work in1970, more than 1700 toys andother products have been ruledunsafe for sale.

By law, manufacturers mustcease production or import ofany items the consumer agencyrules unsafe, and stores muststop selling the items. But manystores are either poorly informedabout the commission's rulings,or lax about removing the pro-ducts, Michaelson said.

Michaelson got tire idea forthe unusual pledge project fromhis high school days in Balti-more, where he organized a simi-

tration were both "made possi-ble for an abundance ofmoney," and added that thatmoney should be retraced to getat the roots of both situations.

Both the Rowans scored thenews media for its "short atten-tion span," saying that the treat-ment of the Watergate story andthe CIA revelations had bothbeen treated superficially.

"The media- is usually justafter the sexy stuff,"- Rowansaid. "Now that they are begin-ning to think that Watergate is.dead, they are concentrating on

Despite Harrington's concern,Ms. Rowan said, she didn'tbelieve that the congressman wasresponsible for the subsequentleaks of the information to theNew York -Times and the Wash-ington Post ,that resulted in thepublishing of the testimonyearly in September. "I think itwould be unfair to speculate onwho was responsible for theleaks," Ms. Rowan-said.

Rowan said that the abuses ofthe CIA and the Nixon adminis.

scandal and the abuse of CIApower -in iverthrowing theAllende government in Chileboth stem from "the mentalityand personality of the Nixonadministration," an MIT audi-ence was told yesterday.

A "paranoia and tendency tolook for enemies everywhere"were major factors in the NixonAdministration's quest to domi-nate its opponents, NBC news-man Ford Rowan told a seminarsponsored by the MIT Ceter forInternational Studies yesterday.This mental attitude, Rowan.said, was reflected in foreignoperations by the CIA as well asby the activities of the "Plumb-.ers Squad" in the Watergateburglary.

Rowan and his wife, AnnRowan, addressed the seminar ofthe -topic "Watergate and theCIA." Rowan is currently cover-ing the trial of the Watergatecover-up conspirators for NBCnews, and Ms. Rowan is a staffaide to Rep. Michael Harrington,(D-M ass.), who revealed inSeptember the role the secretagency played in the downfall ofAllende's government in Chile.

Ms. Rowan, who worked withHarrington on the secret testi-mony that revealed the CIA'sChile actions, said that the reve-lations raised a basic questionfor the American public to ask:"Who makes foreign policy forthis country?" Harrington, she"said, "was very upset when helearned about the Clhile thing,

MIT had its day at the WhiteHouse this week, when PresidentGerald R. Ford was presented asegment of a crystal grown in anIns t itu t e-planned experimentaboard Skylab III Monday.

The crystal particle, whichwas "grown" about the orbitingspace laboratory by astronautslast January, was presented tothe President by Chairman ofthe MIT Corporation Howard W.Johnson at a special WhiteHouse ceremony.

The President told Johnsonthat the crystal segment was "areminder that we should raiseour sights to' the broadeninghorizon available to us throughour national investment in sci-ence and technology." Fordadded that he would keep thecrystal in its mounting in theOval Office where he works.

The crystal was grown as partof an experiment under the di-rection of MIT Professors HarryC. Gates and August F. Witt,both of the Electronic Materials

Group of the Center for Materi-als Scien'ce and Engineering Theexperiment was undertaken totest if crystals could be grown ina weightless situation, awayfrom the influence of gravita-tional forces.

The crystals 'that resultedfrom the experiment are said tobe the most perfect and uniformcrystals made by man. The indi-um-antimonide crystal segment,which was cut from a. largercylindrical crystal, is of the typeused in semiconductor devicessuch as transistors..

intensive effort to plug the leaks at the-State Dept.

Kissinger is outraged over press reports- many of them ours - about his MiddleEast negotiations and his celebrated"tilts" toward Turkey and white Africa.A few weeks ago, he restricted the distri-bution of classified cables. The EuropeanAffairs Bureau, for example, used to get30 copies of incoming cables. They nowget six.

A team of top aides toured the depart-ment and told lesser bureaucrats theywould henceforth receive only those tele-grams that were directly related to their

-particular jobs. And they were warnednot to duplicate the few cables they get.

In addition, the director general of theForeign Service lectured his underlings onthe "ethics" of their calling. "Malicious"news leaks, he told them, maligned the"integrity" of the Foreign Service. Thosewho could not live with Kissinger's poli7cies, he suggested, should resign or take"leave without pay."

The truth is there is little informationwhich must be kept secret in the interestof national security. Indeed, HenryKissin' er4 himself is walking proof of thehyprocisy of the'classification system.

He routinely holds "background"press conferences in which he divulgessensitive information. The bits and pieceshe reveals, however, are carefully selectedto further the aims and desires of HenryKissinger.

Recently, CBS newsman Daniel Schcorrwas investigating the US~ government'srole in t he 1973 coup in Chile. Hieobtained information -critical of Kissingerand visited the State Dept. for a rebuttal'.Kissinger's executive assistant. - LarryEagleburger, reached into the StateDept.'s vaults -and produced three topsecret documents that tended to backKissinger's side of the story.

About a week earlier, Kissinger's p ressspokesmnan had heatedly branded newsleaks a "disgrace to the Foreign Service."

Hard times in the auto indusitry arealso spreading swiftly to the industriesthat produce auto accessories and toeveryone else who does business with theauto community.

As a former congressman from Michigan, President Ford' is close to the autotycoons. They want him to urge Ameri-cans to spend more, not less. The nation'snumber one problem, they are pleading isnot inflation but recession.

When the auto tycoons speak, Fordout of habit listens. So if the economycontinues to weaken, he is likely to taketheir advice.

WASHINGTON - In this electionweek, perhaps the voters should be re-minded they have a long way to go beforethey clean up Capitol Hill. Congress hasspent millions of dollars investigatingWatergate, but it still has not set its ownhouse in order.

A spot check investigation has turnedup these continuing abuses:

- The Constitution forbids acceptanceof any and all foreign gifts. Nonetheless,in this session of Congress alone, we haveuncovered more than 100 such illegaltrips by the nation's lawmakers and their.aides.

- The free mail privilege, by law, isrestricted to official business only. Newstandards have been adopted to makecongressional newsletters less of a promo-tion piece for the members. Yet we havefound numerous newsletters which vio-Late even these minimal restrictions.

- Federal law prohibits soliciting oraccepting campaign contributions on fed-eral property. This is one statute thatmost congressmen know quite well. Yetrepresentatives of labor unions and otherspecial interest groups regularly drop offcampaign contributions on Capitol Hill.Inl addition, a number of lawmakers usetheir congressional offices to send outpolitical contribution mailings.

One reason congressmen so freelyflout campaign laws, apparently, is thatthe Justice Dept. has refused to enforcethem.

Since the original campaign spendinglaw was adopted in 1971, the Clerk of theHouse and the Secretary of the Senatehave forwarded nearly 10,000 apparentviolations to the Justice Dept. for investi-gation and possible prosecution. Some1,800 incidents have been reported toJustice this year alone.

So far, however, the Justice Dept. hasfailed to act. Indeed, only a few attorneyshave been assigned to handle reportedviolations.

Some of the complaints are purelytechnical in nature: a candidate filed alate report, or a contributor was notproperly identified. Many other cases,however, involve serious infractions ofthe law, including the acceptance ofillegal corporate contributions, illegalexpenditure of personal funds and viola-tions of the general spending limitations.

Henry Kissinger's concern over news"leaks" helped to stimulate wiretaps onmembers of his- own- -National-SecurityCouncil staff. Press reports of the wiretapcampaign embarrassed Kissinger so muchthat he threatened to resign.

Well, they're at it again.. clutteringthe Building 7 lobby with all sorts ofmasterpieces of dubious function.

This time the whole thing can beattributed to the Center for AdvancedEngineering Study; the ArchitectureDepartment is blameless for once.

If you've wandered through there inthe past two days, you have undoubtedlybeen accosted by numerous gadgets clam-oring for your inattention. There is analuminum staircase or something thatgoes up and down every once in a while,there is a display of graphics, there are acouple of television sets with MIJTV andCAES programs. What arrested my pro-gress precipitously was a reflector strate-gically placed right in the path from themain doors to the main corridor. Thereflector reflects the image of a convolu-ted, illuminated pink blob. The wholeef feet is, ah, well ... I would have said"Cunique" if it hadn't reminded me ofweather.

A h1, 'Weather.'' That is capital"W"eather. Another one of Building 7lobby works that was turned loose on anunsuspecting Institute community. Wea-ther occurred sometime last No:vemberand lasted way too long; its primaryfeature was obstruction of passagethrough the lobby. I will admit that therewere some interesting exhibits; the bigplasticelupside-dowvn umbrella which drip,ped water into the center of the lobbywas intriguing as long as it wasn't leakingon you. There was that plastic inflatableigloo with the obscene entrance. Therewrere all the streamers hung from mainentrance portico, making the Instituteappear as if it were suffering a "GalaGranld Opening." And there were a bunchof connected wooden frames that seemedto have blocking of the way as their onlypurpose. As you can tell, I really likedWeather.

Lobby 7, as it is sometimes whimsical-ly called, can be used well. I don't dislikeeverything that has ever been in there,and my favorite remains the "ErectorSet." For those ouf you who arrived afterMay 1973, this was a stairway construct-ed by -architecture students during 1AP'71. The .structulre looked literally like anerector set, wandering its way up to thesecond floor balcony with alcoves forprivate conversation, tooling, or what-ever. Originally intended to provide easieraccess to the second floor, it was one ofthe few projects to succeed in its objec-tive. It was int:eresting, useful, fun toclimb around onl, and didn't block thepath. When they killed it in May of thatyear, it was with false promises of abigger and better stairway. I had imagesof a massive maze leading to possibly thlethird floor balcony and, dare I hope, thefourth. What did I get'! Weather! Disillu-sionment followed.

Since then, the lobby has often beenused well. The musical, theater, anddance interludes at noon are enjoyable towatch, even if you only have a fewmoments. Even pieces of Weather andthis latest stroke of genius have a certainappeal for several days. H1-owever, most ofthe time I go steamrolling through thelobby, late for somne class or appointmentand in no mind to brook anything thatgets in myv path. Later, when I 'has-e thetime, I am more than willing to go backand poke around - I like mysteriousgadgetry as much as anyone around MIT.But I do not see why the people whoplace the exhibits must force them onpeople by making people run into them.

If Suzanne Weinberg (Lobby 7 coordi-nator) wants to keep doing these events --and she should - I think at least a few ofus would appreciate not being forced tointeract with them when we don't wantto.

Gioup participation and "'advocacyarchitecture" are the themes at aneighborhood playground designed byMIT graduate student Nick Eltorn,which is being built on Nortlh HarvardStreet in Allston.

"We aren't going to just present thepeople of the neighborhood with apark,"" Elton said of the project."They will have- been involved indesign and construction of their play-ground from the start - it will betheirs."

The playground is being sponsoredby the- North Halrvard NeighborhoodCouncil, a community group corn-posed mainly of residents of theCharlesview housing project in Allston_The group, organized about 18 monthsago, raised almost $2000 to leasethree-quarters of an acre from HarardUJniversity, and then asked MIT's Com-munity Projects Laboratory for aid indesigning the playground and park.That's where Elton came in.

"There's nothing really fantastic orunusual about the design," Elton, anarchitecture student, told The Tech."But it is unusual to see a communityas involved in planning, design, and

construction as this one has been."Since $2000 is "not a whole lot of

money to develop that much land,",Elton said, scrounging and volunteerlabor have been the watchwords forthe-- project. The Federal governmentprovided funds to hire 30 neighbor-hood children to work full-time duringthe summer on the playground, andseveral schools in the Boston area havesupported students who are helping,but most of the work on the play-ground has come from what Eltoncalls "sweat equity."

Neighborhood children, as the mainbeneficiaries of the project, have alsobeen strongly involved in completingit. 'Wood for a 7(-foot long fence wasdonated by educational TV stationWBGH, and the local kids are paintinga mural - showing a "people's park,"of course - on the fence. "We'retrying to get the kids involved- and getinteraction with' them, too," Eltonsaid.

When completed, the playgroundwill serve the people of the NorthHarvard Street area of Allston, inclu-ding residents of proposed manried-student housing planned by Harvard.

Some pieces of the storymight work fairly well as a suspense filmin the style of Alfred Hitchcock (thecouncillor also has a daughter married toa star actor on whom the new edition ofthe mob will come down if he is unableto pay off his debts to them, as he will beif this particular Martian colony is de-stroyed).

The justification claimed by Janiferfor his political system is quite similar toHeinlein's; it keeps the idiots out andproduces a government of men who cangovern best. Leaving aside the fact that inpolitics idiocy and capability are highlysubjective judgments, Janifer portrays theCabinet and Legislature as having (for anapproximation) no smaller percentage ofloudmouths, headline hunters, andpower-seekers than today's average.

MONEY SAVING GUIDE TO THEGREATER BOSTON AND

: MASSACHUSETS AREA

PAGE 6 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1974 THETECH

Granted, some discoveries may lead to abetter life later on, but scientific researchis supported not merely as an investmentin the future. People want to know aboutthe nature of the universe right now.They'll pay money to anyone willing totell them, be it Isaac Asimov or Erich vonDaniken. It's not just good P.R. forscientists to explain their research to the,general public; it's a moral obligation.

Yet most scientists refuse to becomewriters, and most writers know abysmallylittle science.

Too many scientists I know tend tomake a cult of their knowledge cloakingit in deliberately obscure jargon, andtending to ostracize anyone who dares go"popular." Most scientists are like thegroup of us from MITPAL, who wantedto show up Carl Sagan on the detailedtechnology of his Mars landing craftdesign, even though such a discussionwould have bored the pants off anyonewho happened to be listening in on it. Weresent Carl Sagan, out of jealousy (he'snot really. such a hot scientist, but he suregets in the papers a lot) and out of fear.(If he makes our work sound too simple,then who can we impress?)

Professional science writers are nohelp. A prime example is Walter Sullivan,the conceited science editor of the NewYork T.,nes, who seems to have a smallcircle of friends (yes, Carl Sagan is one ofthem) whom he'll quote at the drop of ahat, whether they know anything aboutthe matter at hand or not. After all,they're scientists- aren't they?

The most distressing aspect is thatscience writing at MIT seems to beespecially bad. Tech Talk is uniformlyvague in their articles on research; theyseem to be more afraid of being wrongthan interested in conveying information.And student-run news media are hardlywithout sin. MITV once had a storyabout a new x-ray telescope that coulddetect "galaxies up to 200 million milesaway"' and The Tech carried an articleearlier this year about the discovery of a13th moon on Jupiter, which, among its-numerous faults, referred to the planet as.a "stellar object."

In contrast to these horrors, Asimovstands out as being lucid, entertaining,and, for the most part, accurate. Asimovon Chemistry is probably the kind ofbook you'd buy as a Christmas gift, toshow your Aunt Matilda what kind ofstuff you learn at MIT. But it's also thekind of book you'd enjoy reading your-self.

Guy Consolmagno

ASIMOV ON CHEMISTRYDoubleday/255 pages/$8.95

Last year I had the pleasure of being aparticipant, along with a number of otherresearchers from the MIT PlanetaryAstronomy Lab, in a panel for a radioshow on WGBH featuring the well-travelled Cornell astronomer, Carl Sagan.Since Dr. Sagan has been the proponentof a number of theories that were not invogue among the MITPAL people, wewere ready to bring up some pointedquestions about the details of his work, asa sort of reminder that by coming toCambridge he was entering the camp ofthe enemy.

Tle moderator of the show was fromthe radio station. And from the momenthe asked his first question, it was clearthat Sagan was indeed in the camp of theenemy. The moderator started off withUFO's, went on to ask about occultpowers, Atlantis, and the "life force" ofrocks. For the most part, we sat insilence. Somehow the significance of theresponse time of the vidicon system onthe Viking Lander paled before the realdebate before us - science vs. supersti-tion.

I bring this up in connection with Dr.Asimov's book, because Asimov is pro-bably the most powerful voice of sciencereaching the American public today. Withthe success of fakers like von Danikenand Vehilkovski, it's good to knowthere's at least one popular writer aboutscience who knows what he's talkingabout.

Asimov on Chemistry itself has littlenew to offer to an' already avid Asimovfan. All the articles have been publishedpreviously, first in The Good Doctor'smonthly column in Th7e Magazine ofFantasy and Science Fiction, and again inbooks now out of print. They date fromthe early 1960's- the latest was printedin 1966. The essays themselves remainunchanged, since to update them "woulddeprive you of the fun of seeing me eatmy words now and then," says the authorin his preface. Instead, he annotates themwith footnotes, remarking on what's

changed in the past ten years.In addition, there are a number of

thumb-nail biographies of famous chem-ists scattered through- the book, and,since the articles have been chosenaround a common theme, he includes anindex.

The essays themselves are not seriouslydated, because their subject matter forthe most part deals with the historicaldevelopment of chemistry and its basicapplications.

Whefi he speaks of current specula-tions in the field, though, it's easy to pickarguments with him. When faced with hisspeculations on the possible chemicalbases for life other than carbon-water,one is tempted to say, "yes, but- "; andas a student of planetary sciences, I cansee where he almost blew it in his essayon "Recipe for a Planet." His descriptionof the interior of the Earth almost agreeswith modem theories, though it's notclear Asirnov understands why. At anyrate, it's probably a lot closer than whatmost of the professionals were sayingback in 1961, when the article was firstwritten.

However, my main complaint as achemist is not what he says, but all theinteresting stories that he doesn't talkabout, The "Recipe for a Planet" and"The Evens Have It," concerning thestability of even:numbered isotopes, areboth examples of subjects that haveramifications he doesn't even hint at, andwhich- seem to be deserving of entirebooks.

It's natural I'd want more on.thesetopics; after all,.that's why I'm spendingmy time here at MIT. Not everyone is ascrazy about the stuff as I am, and theyprobably wouldn't suffer through a bookon the subject. To the average reader, thevariety of topics Asimov touches on givesadded appeal to, the book. There areplenty of interesting things in science thatAsimov doesn't write about; he probablydoesn't even know about them. Why dowe have to depend on one man to tell ourstories to the general public?

The fact is that scientific research is aluxury supported by an affluent society.

BOSTON' BARGAIN FINDIERConsumer Alliance, Craig and PeterNorbackHannrmony Books/248 pages/S3.95

This book reputes itself to be "The-encyclopedic money saving guide to the

Greater Boston, and Massachusetts area."It succeeds and fails at the same time.

It lists over 500 stores with sure firebargains all over 'Massachusetts, yetmissed over 2 dozen inexpensive stores inCambridge and Boston alone;

The -stores are listed under thirtydifferent categories of merchandise. Eachcategory is preceeded by a description ofthe points to watch out for, to get both agood price and top quality. The descrip-tions vary from the best discussion of hifiterminology I have seen to several one-sentence "duhhh... we really don'tknow what to say."

All the- stores are listed alphabeticallyand geographically in appendices, withgeneral info about hours, credit policies,etc., which adds greatly to the book'susefulness.

The store listings are followed by anextremely brief guide to the local Bostonentertainment scene. It misses most ofthe inexpensive great places that thisauthor knows, and seems to have beenadded to increase sales to the quickglance buyer.

The book is quite attractive, laid outwith lots of space around the headingsand type. Each section.is preceeded by anold Sears and Roebuck catalogue typepicture. Unfortunrately, this doubles thesize of the book, and, one assumes, itsprice. Questionable practice for a groupwhose object is to save you money.

It appears that the Consumer Alliance(a NYC-based non-profit organization)sent two people up to Boston for a fewdays.to gather the data, and then pack-aged it attractively.

I would recommend it to people whoare new to Boston or those who have carsand like to shop for bargains on rainySaturdays. Otherwise, I would ask aroundand learn where to shop well and cheaplyfrom the grapevine and save the fourdollars.

point, however, is so relentlessly ham-mered as to become an amorphous, indi-gestible lump. This approach (perhaps"attack" would be the better word)accounts for most of the wordage in thebook and makes just sitting down andreading through it something of a chore.That chore, magnified by the alternationof chapters of the story with lengthy andabstruse political quotations in 18th cen-tury English, probably accounts for someof my hostility - but even with extensivedigging I found little to like in this book.

Isaac Asimov has written that back-ground is the first point of science fic-tion: the writer must begin by creating avision of the future - society, mecha-nisms, and all - against which to set hisstory, and the story will commonly standor fall largely by the solid constuctionand smooth exposition of this back-ground. Janifer unfortunately begins bythoroughly muddling the background andthe characters (it's astonishing how muchcan be written about a character withoutreally telling us anything) and meanderson to an inconclusive ending that tries tobe impressive but instead leaves the read-er wondering why anything happened atall.

Chip Hitchcock

driblets, oligarchic features first, and in-terlaced with such a thicket of conserva-tive quotations, ranging from Machiavelliand Burke to de Tocqueville andHamilton (Hamilton to Jefferson: "Yourpeople, sir, is a great beast.") that I foundit irritating and dyslogistic rather thanthought-provoking, in the manner ofsome of the anti-Left stories in Analog.

The extremely dense writing in thisbook is a further irritant. What plot thereis can be described in a few words: theson of a Councillor incites a mutiny onhis assigned space-navy ship and threatensto bomb a colony on Mars if his demandsare not met. However, it takes us severalpages to extract this much, fragment byfragment, because the author spends mostof his time babbling on about what isgoing on moment by moment in theminds of everyone who is currently onstage. I use the words "on stage" advised-ly; it's ihe only way to describe the seriesof postures that take the place of a plotfor the huge cast (there is actually a listof some forty characters at the beginningof the book, a maneuver I thought wasconfined to the Ace paperback slushpile).In addition, the slow dribbling of infor-mation would be appropriate to the classof political adventure novel told from theoutside looking in, such as Vanished andThe President's Plane Is Missing (Janifer

POWERby Laurence JaniferDell/219pp/95 cents

Maybe I should have had more sensethan to open by reviewing something byLaurence Janifer; if this comes across asincoherent it essentially reflects what Ijust read. Janifer has written half a dozenbooks in a wide variety of styles and withwidely varying: degrees of success; in atleast one case (You Sane Men, reissuedby Lancer as Bloodworld) he gives theimpression of having overestimated eitherthe importance of his theme or his owncapacity to express that theme. Iwouldn't say exactly that about Power -in fact I'm not sure just what I would saybecause this book is so jammed withdisorderly detail that the plot can onlydribble through the cracks.

Sanifer has proposed Earth "three hun-dred years after the collapse," ruled by amonarch (the Emperor) who appoints aCabinet (Coun,6ilors) and Legislature (theDichtung) and who is restrained only byreferenda onf his nominees; an Emperorwho loses/.too many referenda is deposed,althoulgh there is no indication of theprocedure for replacing him.

less exploitation of the Miami Cubanrefugees by everybody since and includ-ing Eisenhower. The whole point of thelatter half of the book is the search forthe roots of such abuse of power.

Yes dearfriends, if the California Democrats hadthe desire to raise the money for legalfees, we might not have suffered six yearsof Richard the First. They decided thatNixon was finished anyway. He had losttwo election attempts in a row and hadmade an ass of himself at his farewellnews conference. I used to be skepticalabout cycles in history, but no longer.Richard the Lion-assed ripped us offtwice, with the same plans. Get a load ofthe ten-year intervals and hold on to yourspirit of 1984, as elder statesman Nixonwill undoubtedly be calling himself thehero of the Watergate expose.

be the king of election time pranks. Tuckis credited with the fortune cookie 'inci-dent. It seems that everyone at a dinnerfor the 1960 presidential candidateNixon, received the same-fortune cookiemessage. They were all told to ask Nixonabout certain money dealings.

Mankiewicz claims that pranks "asusual" didn't consist of outright fraudand were more on the order of bringingup the embarrassing issue at the wrongtime for the candidate. We recognize theNixon personality at work here. The manwho saw protesters as a threat to his-ownpeace of mind hence to national securitywould easily equate the fortune cookiequestion with forged letters and bugging.It goes even deeper, putting forth theclaim 'that Nixon never won a fair elecotion, with the possible exception of 1968.

A chapter entitled "The CaliforniaProving Ground" chronicles some ofNixon's better and lesser known treach-eries. In California Richard the Deposedwas responsible for distorted and down-right fraudulent smear campaigns againstopponents. Jerry Voorhis and HelenDouglas both opposed Nixon: His stan-dard line against both was that theyvweresupported by communist movementswith hugeslush funds. He then comparedtheir voting records with so called Cbm-munist leaning Senators. The assumptionwas that a Communist would- never votefor anything good, and of course -peoplebelieved his statistics and faked poolsthen as in 1972. Also in California Nixon

became a delegate for Earl Warren's at-tempt for the Presidential nomination-in1952. Eisenhower and Senator RA. Taftwere supposedly in deadlock as the con-vention approached. Warren hoped thathe would be the choice if the deadlockcouldn't be broken. Nixon got right inand started working hard, forEisenhower. Strangely enough he becameEisenhower's running mate.

The last test of tactics in Californiawas in 1962 against the incumbent Gover-nor Brown. Haldeman, Maurice Stans andHerbert Kalmbach were there. They setup and operated the "Committee for itePreservation of the Democratic Party inCalifomia." They mailed out fake poolsand warnings to borderline Democrats.ThEe idea again was to associate the.

When Watergate began to unravel, Isaid to a classmate, "It's as if FletcherKnebel were writing the script from dayto day." I also noted that Knebel's Nightof Camp David, ended with the resigna-tion of a paranoid president and specialarrangements for the scandalized VicePresident. Since then I have stayed awayfrom "Watergate books." Perfectly Cleatis my first. It is dated but still containsrelevant passages as it traces Nixon'spolitical -career.

Perfectly Clear was Written so long agothat Agnew hadn't resigned yet. Thetapes were still unavailable to anyone butNixon men. It is, therefore, a bitter andslanted report embodying the frustrationthat 'was felt by many who could see theevidence piled high, while those whocould act were blind.

Mankiewicz spends portions of twochapters listing Watergate related crimes.All the wallowers and fhounders of the"ovenvhelmingly popular (ex-)president"should have their scorecards ready. In-cluded- also is an appendix which listssome criminal statutes which may havebeen violated by Nixon people.

Tueni, who addressed a semi-nar sponsored by the MIT Poli-tical'Science Department, spokeprior to a decision by the headsof the Arab states, meeting inMorocco, to recognize the Pales-tinian Liberation Organization.That move, which threatenedIsraeli involvement in the Mid-east peace talks in Geneva, wasviewed as an endorsement of theidea of establishing a Palestinianstate on the West bank of theJordan River.

The Arab states have an -in-

creased "sense of community"since the Yom Kippur War of1973, according to Tueni, whoadded that this factor must betaken strongly into account inconsidering future Arab politics.

Extension of this sense ofcommunity, Tueni added, wasthe major challenge to the Arabnations now.

Other referenda,however, fared better, includingQuestion 3, which provided forstate aid to private colleges andstudents at such schools. Thatmeasure was approved easily byMassachusetts voters.

Massachusetts turnout waslower than expected, with 55per cent of registered votersturning out in wet weather tovote. Although earlier predic-tions of the vote ranged as highas 80 per cent turnout, theactual turnout was greater than.is usual in a non-Presidentialelection year.

. In other races, New YorkDemocrats took over the state-house there for the first time in16 years with the election ofDemocratic Representative HughL. Carey, who easily defeatedGovernor Malcolm Wilson forthe top Albany post. The win byCarey is expected to make him amajor force in the DemocraticParty in 1976, when he mightwin nomination for a national,office.

Carey will be aided in Albanyby Democratic control over thestate assembly and the state leg-islature. But the Democraticwave proved insufficient to oustRepublican US Senator JacobJavits of New York, who de-feated his challenger, forrmer USAttorney General Ramsey Clark,in what is predicted to be Javits'last campaign.

THE UNIVERSITY OF SMICHIGABN GRADUATESCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTR ATION

A representative of the Admissions Office will be oncampus Friday, November 15, 1974 to discuss the Masterof Business Administration with students interested inmanagement careers;Appointments to meet with James B Ardis, Director ofAdmissions, may be made through the Career Planning andPlacement Office.The MBA degree program is a two-year course widelyrecognized as preparation for careers in the management ofbusiness, government and other organizations. Collegegraduates with majors in liberal arts, humanities, socialscience, engineering, or other fields are eligible to apply ifat least one mathematics course has been included in theundergraduate program. _

-By Jay Morris.MIT's varsity water polo team

completed its 1974 season witha 4-8 record which, althoulgh nota winning mark, was -a large.improvement over last year's1-11 record.

The squad improved greatlyover the season, which enabled itto compete in the New EnglandChampionships, held October26-27. Although -the team lostall of its games there, it playedtight matches against Brown(4-8) and Harvard (4-10).

This season marked the firsttime in many years that MITposed a credible threat in itsconference. The Engineers didthis by playing hard-foughtgames which were not reflectedin the 4-8 season mark. Al-though losing to Boston Collegeand Brown in all four gamesplayed against these teams, eachof these matches was very close-ly contested, and the Engineers

remained within striking dis-tance until the final minutes ofeach game.

MIT did gain impressive victo-ries over - Dartmouth, URI,Trinity, and- Southern Connec-ticut College, marking the.Engi-neers as the New England teamto watch next year. Only Har-vard and Yale dealt MIT decisivelosses.

The team will lose some of itsleadership with the graduationof seniors Dan Bethencourt andDave Rose (the team's leadingscorers), Thomas Jacobs, 'andPeter Schulz, each of whom had

mal impressive season.The loss of such talented

seniors will not be fatal, how-.ever, because of the strong group.of freshmen on the team thisyear. Steve Melnikoff '78 earnedhimself a starting position thisyear, while Dick Henze '78,Gary Simpson '78, and SamSenane '78 showed much prom-ise. With upperclassmen MarkTh orne-Thomsen '78, TonyAbner '77, Marc Deric '76, JeffBentley '76, and goalie SteveOblath '77 returning, next yearOught to bring an exciting seasonof water polo to MIT.

Richardson suffered his firstdual meet loss of the year toRich Reinhold of Brandeis.Reinhold covered the 5-milecourse in 24:48, seven seconds,ahead of Richardson. Carlsonand Jeff Baerman '76 ran theirbest races of the season, Carlson5thn in 25:31 and Baermnnan 8th in25:45.

The JV ended its most suc-cessful season ever (6-2) on acheerful note with a shutout(capturing the first five places)over Brandeis and Bentley. StanMartin '77 broke the tape forMIT in 16:48 over the 3.1-milecourse. Eric Carr '78, Jeff Kaste'78, Frarnk Kenney '78, andMike Lowry '77 ran career beststo account for the clean sweep.

Despite this being the-fastestMIT cross country squad ever,

the Engineers still did not re-ceive a berth in the Nationals inWheaton, Illinois. Athletic Direc-tor Ross H. Smith cited budgetproblems as the chief deterrentto the proposed trip.

Needless to- say, the teammembers felt disappointed andslighted at the decision, as the9-2 season record was the secondbest in MIT history. Coach PeteClose, who has turned crosscountry into a winning sport atMIT in his two seasons with theteam, felt that this was one ofthe finest intercollegiate teamsMIT would sponsor this year,noting that in the past, teams ofthis caliber would have beenjustified in going to the Nation:als. (The 1968 squad finished8-3, and was sent to the Nation-als, where they placed 4th.) IHealso stated that hopefully bynext year, specific qualificationswill be spelled out for a berth inthe NCAA's.
