Several assumptions about the nature of radicalism seem to me now current among some liberals in the university. These have been recently cogently expressed by Dean Ford in an article in Harvard Today (Autumn, 1968 -- all page reference to this issue), in which he calls for an appreciation of the complexity of the situation at Harvard and in the world. This article seems worth discussing at length, not merely for its cogency, but because Ford's power and moral authority as Dean of the Faculty make it worthwhile trying to understand his position carefully...

There are more than a few who blame Lindsay himself for spreading the plague. Said Dominick Peluso, executive assistant to Frank O'Connor, Democratic City Council president and an archfoe of the Republican Mayor: "Lindsay has taken New York from a city in crisis to a city in chaos." The summary is typical, though hardly just; Lindsay's record is one of remarkable success and serious shortcomings...
