Lebanon Outlaws HSA Guidebook

The government of Lebanon banned Harvard Student Agencies' 1967 edition of Let's Go: A Student Guide to Europe last week because the Israeli flag appears in a back cover advertisement for El Al Airlines.

"We expect to lose as much as six dollars in profit as a result of the ban," Andrew P. Tobias '68, manager of HSA's publishing division, said yesterday. "We printed 50,000 copies of this edition and were trying to sell only ten copies in Lebanon."

"This is the first year we will make a profit from the book," Tobias said. "We don't expect the ban to put us out of business."
