...successfully, as National Security Adviser in Washington. In the Cabinet, George Shultz may bow out as Secretary of State at the end of the first term, presenting Reagan with another fateful prag-matist-conservative choice. Leading candidates: Middle East Envoy Donald Rumsfeld, a non-ideologue, and Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, yet another pal from California days and a reflexive hardliner...
...writing to protest the threat of administrative disciplinary action against two undergraduate students who were two among six hundred students who vocally protested during Caspar Weinberger's November speech (two weeks after the U.S. invasion of Grenada) at the Harvard Law School Forum.

Hundreds of people, both students and non-students, caused the disturbance at the Law School Forum in Sanders Theatre which partially silenced Weinberger Singling out two well-known student agitators for vaguely worded violations of University policy amounts to selective repression of students whose political views don't conform to those of University administrators. In addition, the very vagueness of University policy concerning "disruptive action" lends itself to abuse by those...
