...views of students and junior faculty. When Bok and his Corporation seek to ignore the ethical dimensions of corporate responsibility, when they refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of students' calls for a real hand in determining Harvard's investment policy, or when Bok and Dean Rosovsky smugly dismiss students' attempts to gain a real say in the formulation of their own curriculum, the silence is an echo. Granted, Bok is a smoother man than Pusey--as the Corporation and Overseers realized when they named him, he is the sort to rely on calm words, rather than police violence, to settle...
...without ambiguity. You should not allow the Russians to undermine your friends and, in the process, America itself. I am not by nature an alarmist, but the situation here has reached alarming proportions. You still have time for a new professional diplomatic initiative and declaration, but if you ignore, dismiss or neglect this opportunity, then I fear that the future of the gulf will be placed in grave peril...
...instance, written a column of too familiar TV listings ("5:00, Ch. 3: Enough is Enough/Audrey falls for a swinging swimming pool cleaner and the twins disapprove"), rationalized rape ("Men who dress provocatively are asking for it"), and once dared to dismiss Barry Manilow as "the Mitch Miller of the '70s."

...country. Countless authors have attempted to analyze the peculiar mood of outrage that pervaded college campuses in the late '60s and early '70s, but over a decade the conclusions have tended to be obscured, forgotten, or condensed into broad and meaningless generalities. At Harvard, many current undergraduates tend to dismiss the Strike as a perverse outbreak of radicalism, the last loud roar of a generation of frustrated left-wingers bent on changing the world. That particular theory overlooks the simple, quite basic fact that student politics at Harvard were, until the Strike, familiarly moderate; it took the pervasive horror...
