When Sherman Holcombe was under attack, a large number of students rallied to his defense, recognizing the reacist, anti-union character of Harvard's move to "suspend" him. It was again important that students solidly back the campus workers' walk-out against the Harvard administration. The scabbing by some 35 Harvard students reported in the May 26 Crimson (many of whom, fortunately, have stated they would not do so again) is deplorable. Not only is such anti-labor action reactionary on its face; students who scab are essentially dupes of the administration...
Moro was joined on the campaign trail by Party Secretary Benigno Zaccagnini, 64, who last week was felled by a prostate attack in Bologna. In a party that had been plagued by ineptitude and corruption, Zaccagnini, despite his age, had been billed as a fresh face and a genuine "Mr. Clean": his picture is on most D.C. campaign posters, along with the party's slogan: "The New D.C. has already begun." Speaking in Bologna last week before his attack, Mr. Clean admitted that the Communists had gone through "a significant evolution during the past ten years." But, he added...
Died. Mitsuo Fuchida, 73, the Japanese Imperial Navy pilot who led the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor that jolted the U.S. into World War II on Dec. 7, 1941; of diabetes; in Kashirhara, Japan. Six months after radioing his jubilant message of success ("Torn! Torn! Torn!") from Hawaii, Fuchida was severely wounded in the battle of Midway and spent the rest of the war as a staff officer. A chance encounter with a missionary in 1949 converted him to Christianity. He became a prolific writer of religious tracts and war histories, including Midway, the Battle That Doomed Japan, a close...
...case of ad hominem; the man is easy to attack. His thought is far less susceptible to predators. To Kierkegaard, reason was devouring faith, like a snake swallowing its own tail. The solution was a radical renewal of Christian belief. To Nietzsche, humanity's theological license had expired, and man could either plunge into nihilism or freedom. This now classical alienation from faith became Heidegger's concern. In his seminal work, Being and Time, he set out to investigate the nature of existence. He tried to discard the Cartesian dualism of mind and matter. Heidegger...
Died. Colonel Glover S. Johns Jr., 64, commanding officer of the U.S. troops who liberated Saint-L6 after six long weeks of desperate fighting following their D-day landing at Omaha Beach; of a heart attack; in Austin, Texas. A Virginia Military Institute graduate, Colonel Johns wrote The Clay Pigeons of Saint-Lõ, which was an account of his World War II experiences. Perhaps his best-known military exploit came at the beginning of the Berlin crisis in 1961, when he successfully led a reinforcement convoy into the barricaded city...
