...November 17, War Secretary Caspar Weinberger '38 returned to his alma mater and received the welcome he richly deserved. Hundreds of students greeted Weinberger with boos, hisses, cries of "murderer," "war criminal," "South Africa," and "50,000 dead!" Out came the SYL banner: "U.S. Get Your Bloody Hands Off the World!" which the organizers of the event repeatedly tried to tear down.

The news that ths war criminal was protested here at Harvard should please and encourage...

That left 1,200 combat and 1,900 support troops in Grenada, about half the total at the height of the invasion. In Washington, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger pledged that almost all the soldiers would be home by Christmas. Said he: "I don't anticipate the need for any combat troops at all after mid-December." A few hundred support personnel are expected to remain to help a new, interim government take charge...
