Several primarily symbolic steps are important. The University should fight sub rosa bias against Radcliffe, whether it is failure to place books on reserve in Hilles or creation of only "Quad" sections when each River House gets its own section.

But if these specific cases can shed light on the entire McCarthy period, if the Freedom of Information Act can help explain the FBI's method of investigation in two cases which contributed so much to the creation of a national anti-communist hysteria, then clearly Weinstein's research and that of Hiss and the Meeropols will not simply serve to satisfy a historical curiosity. The means by which the investigative arm of the Justice Department obtained information during this period, certainly one of the darkest in American history, the pressures...
