...Harvard community has disgraced itself. Just like last year, when Jerry Falwell and a PLO representative spoke in Cambridge, small groups of loud protesters made hypocrites of themselves by using one of the very same tactics they deplore in their enemies.

Among those who spoke out in opposition to the breakup was Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, who said that dealing with an array of companies could threaten national defense and drive up communications costs. Greene also reviewed 25,000 pages of trial transcripts. Many months passed, with Greene raising objections along the way, continually shaping and modifying the parts that were now to be independent. In August 1983, Greene gave final approval to the divestiture agreement...
