Politicians have often sought votes with good-will trips to such places as Ireland, Italy and Israel, and they rarely hesitate to meddle in foreign affairs for political purposes. (A fortnight ago, for example, Senator Edward Kennedy used his own political funds to bring a Miskito Indian mother from Nicaragua to Washington to testify about the death of her child at the hands of the CIA-backed contra rebels.) But it is unusual and inappropriate for political candidates to malign the U.S. on foreign soil. Either of Jackson's opponents would likely have been pilloried for such...

Nevertheless the sculpture, which was on loan, remained in place until it was due for return...
...addition to faculty activism on the left, a number of faculty members in this period who were identified with the government or espoused ideas construed as conservative, faced student harassment. Heckling crowds disrupted the classes of, and sometimes followed around the campus, George D. Markham Professor of Government Edward C. Banfield, who had criticized Great Society welfare programs in the ghettoes; Huntington, who had advised the government on Vietnam; and particularly Edgar Pierce Professor of Psychology Richard J. Herrnstein, Herrnstein had written that genetic factors contributed to intelligence more than environment, and although he never mentioned race in his articles...
