Your May 24 story on Chester Hartman and the GSD faculty carefully describes the prolonged fencing over procedures for his appeal. It fails to report on the background of the case and its underlying issues. These need repeating. At the GSD Hartman was an inspiring teacher, a conscientious advisor, a productive scholar, an effective innovator of urban planning techniques and of educational methods. He was let go for a variety of reasons which had nothing to do with this outstanding record: not playing by the polite rules of the club, challenging the University's policies for how they affect surrounding...

As confidential advisor to the President, Kissinger has successfully claimed "executive privilege" when asked to testify on the record in Congressional hearings. As a result, the only contact that Kissinger has with Congress is through informal, intermittent briefing sessions with House and Senate leaders. And even those briefings appear to be empty exercises, for Kissinger is subjected to them only when the President decides they are necessary...
