"I guess it's just something we'll have to live with," said one high official in Israel at the time.

...have not published an editorial on the subject. If you believe any of the principles you usually preach, you must recognize that the attack on Dr. Ngo is an attack on us all. I hope that you understand me literally. If Dr. Ngo cannot return to Harvard to express his views on Vietnam without fearing for his life, then the faculty, guests, employees, and students who write and speak here on such subjects as Chile, Cuba, Nicaragua, and ElSalvador have to expect that they too may soon run deathly risks...
