ANOTHER DISTURBING implication of the report is that in order to make "a fair and reasonable evaluation" the ACSR will need to collect data for several years before taking any action. Harvard should quit stalling. The evidence the ACSR did succeed in gathering is clear. The blacks who work for these corporations are clustered at the bottom of the pay scale, and are destined to stay there as long as blacks in South Africa are denied basic political and economic rights. Even if the corporations adopted and enforced equitable labor practices, the corporations would still, by their very presence...

While it is clear that the AVF is not the panacea that many thought it might be, reinstituting draft registration is a misguided attempt at solving a complex problem.

Almost every paragraph begins with a short, declarative sentence, a basically sound idea, but one which suffers from great overuse. More careful editing and proofreading--the book is riddled with typos--would have helped enormously...

...clear to me that both the research and the reporting involved in this article written by "The Crimson Staff" was extremely careless and irresponsible. Through such carelessness The Crimson avoids shedding new light on complex and important issues such as the views men and women have on war and draft. Instead it merely serves to support the common stereotypes and misconceptions which plague discussion of everything concerning human beings. Erica Cohen...
