...vote, and who was still when I came to Harvard, the closest thing with tenure to an active radical. But Professor Hughes and, for that matter, Betsy were only backwaters in the great stream of people supposedly politicized or radicalized by about five minutes of not unusually brutal police action in Harvard Yard. In both directions storm-troopers had worked the trick, the difference of opinion being as to who they were, students or police...

At that time the caucus of 500 scholars in Asian Studies "came together in opposition to the brutal aggression of the United States in Vietnam and to the complicity nor silence of our profession with regard to that policy." Since, then, CCAS has grown into an organization of several hundred members with chapters at all major centers of Asian studies in the country. CCAS also...
