Five days before South Africa rejected the United Nation's peace-keeping proposals for Namibia, Richard Moose, assistant secretary of state for African Affairs sat back in his chair at the Faculty Club and termed the prognosis for a settlement this week, "guarded...
...which is a pity. With his I, Claudius haircut and natty suits, Mitchelson easily upstages the Hollywood star. The lawyer leans menacingly over the witness box, especially when the actor is pinioned on the stand, and then checks out the rows of newsmen as he stalks back to his chair. Although he is outshone by Mitchelson, Marvin worries that the fact he is a star may work against him, no matter how the judge rules.

It is far preferable that Harvard put even illegitimate earnings (as from apartheid) to a good cause (a school for public servants or a chair in Third World studies) than that it be reinvested in those illegitimate enterprises. By these criteria, the Engelhard Foundation's money could be kept, but the name must be changed--the motive behind the gift may have been pure, but its effect is to make legitimate (to future public servants...
