Another type of "hidden discrimination" is present in promotion practices. A middle-level black woman employee says, "Promotion is basically centered not around what you know but who you know." There is more than a tinge of anger and frustration in her voice. A college degree she explains, invariably takes precedence to experience. In the student term bill department, for example, there are no women supervisors. The supervisor is Dartmouth-educated J.P. Mensel--a young, white male. Mensel spent a year working in the hotel business before he came to Harvard. Robert Scott, director of the Office for Financial Assistance...
There's no anger in his voice, though. And even with the crewcut and Canal St., New Orleans tattoos--one of a mermaid, another of a clipper ship--the image of Richardson as a platoon sergeant just doesn't fit. His soft voice belies some of the memories--of "mowing down" North Koreans as an infantryman in MacArthur's Yalu River-bound 24th Division and carrying out "search and destroy" missions in the Central Highlands of Vientnam...
Rarely, if ever, do Harvard students anger him, even when they do things like let a pet cobra loose in the House--as one Adams resident did a few years ago when Richardson was on duty--or break a sprinkler system pipe doing chin-ups on it, the work of another Adams House student earlier this spring...
...bleeding hearts, these. They pointed to the many slum dwellers who did not riot as proof that those who vented their anger in violence were somehow deviant and could be somehow fixed or cured. The doctors' blind faith in a simplistic biological approach was incredible. Their statement conjures up an image of teams of white-coated neurosurgeons descending on America's ghettos, intent on weeding out those with faulty brains and patching up their neurological circuitry. Fortunately, the physicians' suggestions never got far beyond the theoretical stage, although in 1970 Mark and Ervin did come out with a semi-popular...
...eager volunteers asked fees ranging from $200 to $10,000. One, who said she wanted to be a good Samaritan, described herself as "white, 23, blonde, green-eyed, slow to anger, strong-willed." Another was a medical student who asked to have her tuition paid for a year. A third was a 28-year-old mother of two who wanted to bear another child, but could not afford to keep it. One letter came from a man who volunteered his girlfriend. There was one drawback to the whole enterprise, however: its legality was questionable...
