...WEEKS AGO the University Committee on Governance issued a small, baby-blue booklet entitled, "The Nature and Purposes of the University-A Discussion Memorandum." Although it is more attractively packaged and carries a loftier title than most of the political verbiage distributed in the dormitories, there is little evidence that it will generate any more interest...

As for forming a special shareholders' committee, the corporation contended that it "would do serious damage to General Motors and to its stockholders and to the general public," because it would be "structured for harassment and publicity." G.M. also sent every shareholder a 2-1 -page booklet defending its record on safety and pollution. Roche himself wrote to the heads of foundations, bank trust departments and university endowment funds, urging them to vote down the proposals, and G.M. officials followed up with phone calls...
