...humanities where art is separated from reality, to the ROTC program which enlists Harvard in the Vietnam war effort, to the riot control course, are hardly neutral. These courses help maintain the status quo of American capitalism and fight those trying to change it. Must we really accept such courses in the name of "freedom," even of "academic freedom" or of "neutrality...
...four-power inner directorate of Britain, France, West Germany and Italy. This grouping would also form the nucleus of an all-European defense system to replace U.S.-dominated NATO. After consulting his government, Soames replied that Britain found the suggestions "significant" and "far-reaching" -but refused to accept De Gaulle's view of NATO, and insisted on pursuing its aim of entering the Common Market as it is now constituted...
...affects all the countries and creates the impression that we do not favor foreign investment." Nor are they pleased by Peru's threat to charge the U.S. before the Organization of American States with "economic aggression" (the countercharge, quite properly, will be that the U.S. is willing to accept expropriation if need be but insists that Peru observe international law and make repayment).

On the Bowery, investigators found that 55% of the inhabitants had never married, one-third had never voted, two-thirds claimed no close friend either on or off Skid Row. One in four, asked where he expected to be a year hence, predicted that he might be dead...

What the Defense Department is and isn't willing to accept is still uncertain, and it may eventually be possible for the Corporation to satisfy both the services and the Faculty. But this much is fairly clear: the Faculty by and large opposes ROTC, and the Corporation strongly supports it. The Faculty, and with it the bulk of the Harvard Student body, has implicitly rejected the political doctrines by which ROTC is justified; the Corporation continues to accept them. No amounts of sophistry...
