...brothers. The only guilty parties are the past and life's cruel way of wasting lives. The critical event for Walter Franz (Fritz Weaver) and his brother Victor (Mitchell Ryan) was the financial castration of their father in the Great Crash of '29. Victor abandoned his natural bent for science and joined the police force to provide a se cure home for the old man. Unwilling to share that responsibility, Walter cut out, earned his way through medical school and became a successful doctor. His bad nerves are the price of ill-buried remorse and of ordering...

Tempting, but sadly mistaken. The issues of that spring have not gone away, and the attitudes of an administration bent on limiting students' rights to free expression have hardly changed. The main issues that prompted the University Hall takeover and the strike that followed it were threefold: an end to the preferred status on campus of the armed forces Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), establishment of a viable Afro-American Studies Department, and an end to Harvard's unconscionable expansion into the surrounding community. Granted, ROTC is no longer an issue--at least for the moment--but the Faculty...
