...motives were far different. Not only would his TV contract give him about three times as much money to start with ($100,000 a year v. $32,800, with $150,000 after five years and perhaps a share of the station's profits), but it would also allow him far greater freedom to say what was on his mind. And Reddin, an oldfashioned crusader who veers between conservative and liberal tendencies-with accent on the conservative-has a great deal on his mind...

Longo and his friends leave the Premier's office. The Communist leader is saying wistfully to his deputy: "It would have been nice, though, and you could have been Prime Minister. Too bad.

We must no longer tolerate from the Corporation such callous and irresponsible conduct, conduct inimical to the interests of every segment of the University community, as well as the broader external community. More than this, we cannot allow any recurrences of this conduct. Even if the Corporation were to make a complete about face on its policies at this very moment, there would be no guarantee that these policies would not be resumed again tomorrow. Experience has shown that we can no longer have any faith in the judgement...
