...concerns we feel is that...the act of merger would stimulate the forces of change, and that, although at present there is no illegality in controlling such a ratio, it would be increasingly difficult to do so.

Even before the caucuses began to control the Faculty in the Spring of 1969, the lines between them had been drawn on small issues.

They are only part of a larger Paris, drawn with fearful and totally remorseless accuracy, which becomes a tawdry circle of hell. The French whom Shirley meets are all impossibly rude: "We wanted to give you beans and jam for dinner, but my wife refuses to do American cooking," says Philippe's best friend, welcoming Shirley...
