Instead of exploring these to anything resembling their full potential, what has The Crimson offered? A series of virtually personal attacks on a single person who, after the dust of the Crimson accounts has settled, seems to have committed an error of carelessness, not conspiracy, with no tangible harmful effects other than those produced by the shrill invectives of the "reporters." More depressing than the defamation which will make those few professors who actually run review sessions hesitate before continuing the almost extinct practice of answering questions from students has been a loss of your credibility attendant to these "news...
...found that there were no photos available and the company that owned the factory would not allow any to be taken. Hyland finally located a doctor in Manhattan who had done research on the disease and obtained from him a photo of factory machinery covered by the harmful asbestos dust.

...admonitory finger of Solzhenitsyn points as firmly at us as it does at his own countrymen. He reminds us that the place "beyond freedom and dignity" is a place of cruelty and terror, where the justice and beauty and worth of a human life are trampled into the dust. And he reminds us that these values are not things of a day. They are the very soul of a man, which no materialistic, dogmatic authoritarianism--or, for that matter, no relativistic brave new world--will ever change...
