...absolute responsibility to present all points of view in its news stories, on its opinion page and in its selection of letters to the editor. (The Crimson fulfilled this responsibility in this case by printing a story about Mr. Chan's arrival on campus.) But because of its inherent bias, unrestricted advertising is antithetical to this responsibility.

And when the government does not want to buy foreign, wholesalers and industrial buyers steer clear of imports as well. At the same time, customs officers have been known to effectively shut...
