What the heck, they're only trees

President Bok let himself in for the wrath of tree lovers the world over when he okayed the use of Dumbarton Oaks, the plush Harvard-owned estate outside Washington, for a wedding reception for Rep. John Brademas '49 (D-Ind.), the House majority whip. Despite the fact that large garden parties are bad for the estate's famous tree-lined garden. Bok apparently felt that Brademas--a former Overseer and close friend of "Harvard's Congressman," Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill Jr.--could be trusted not to import a pack of restless dachsunds. "We figured, what the heck, it wasn't costing Harvard any money," Bok said.
