...coverage of the Shcharansky incident is indicative of what seems to me to be a general policy of not devoting much space to the discussion of human rights issues in the Soviet Union. University events such as the ones that the Democratic and Republican Clubs co-sponsored to alert students to Soviet atrocities in Afghanistan, and the Hillel Committee for Oppressed Jewry's 24-hour rally and letter writing on behalf of Soviet refuseniks, receive woefully little attention in your newspaper...

Quickly, a picture of bumbling emerged. It turned out that late last week the U.S. embassy in Port-au-Prince sent an "alert" to the State Department, reporting rumors that Duvalier had fled the country.
