...Tail Gunner" McCarthy nicknamed Harvard the "Kremlin on the Charles," but once all the midwestern farmboys arrive in Cambridge, they soon find out Harvard will train them for the Chase Manhattan Bank and not a revolutionary cadre. It is only natural that Harvard's faculty mirrors this bias. The radical graduate students and assistant professors soon leave for greener, tenured pastures--just take a look at the Cambridge refugees at the U Mass Economics Department...
...Marxist Bias. "It's all Bertolucci's fault," said the dapper Grimaldi, 52, while on a visit to New York City last week. "I think Last Tango went to his head. He has become an egomaniac, a very sick man." Bertolucci, biting his knuckles in his Rome apartment, charged Grimaldi with censorship and, half seriously, with putting "a kind of curse on me-a macumba." In Hollywood a top film executive suggested that after the succès de scandale of Last Tango, the big studios probably invested in Bertolucci without scrutinizing his plans.

Now, although I can scarcely say that all of my concerns have been stilled, I view the President a good deal more positively. His campaign commitments to achieve a balanced budget by fiscal year 1981 appeared to be little more than rhetoric-and, indeed, they may end up that way. But now they...
...former campus dissidents' attitudes are not completely at odds with the views of some ACSR members, both past and present. Some members suggest that a bias exists in ACSR membership because of the strong predominance of individuals with business, corporate law, and economics backgrounds, among the group's alumni and faculty members. As Sabine Rodriguez '75, a second-year student at the Law School and a member of ACSR during its first three years says the University appears to believe that an alumnus who works in the arts in Boston is not as capable of judging the social value...
