...bloody revolt in 1961 and to energetic resistance ever since. While the FNLA's precursors sought to reconstitute the Kingdom of the Kongo, whose last king died in 1962, Roberto's contacts with African nationalists and socialists such as Fanon and Lumumba enabled him to convince his compatriots to broaden their scope to the liberation of the whole of Angola and to renounce tribalism officially. The FNLA, who now welcome the anti-tribalist influence of the Portugese occupation, claim that there is only one FNLA minister who speaks the Bakongo language, and have attracted to their ranks Daniel Chipenda...

Indeed, Galbraith has noted "the obsolescence of neoclassical economic theory," the foundation of the department's curriculum. Some faculty members and graduate students also insist that the department ignores such real problems as economic development in the Third World and in agriculture while emphasizing...
Leontief, who developed the input-output formula that helps economists determine how changes in one sector of the economy affect other sectors, has other complaints about the department. He is bitter that it did not broaden its scope by granting tenure to four radical economists in the past few years (three subsequently left) or by hiring the woman who assisted him in developing applications for his formula, Brandeis Professor Anne Carter...
