...atmosphere was jubilant when Feld unveiled his seven-minute romp through Americana at Manhattan's City Center last week. It was the first Broadway run for the troupe that Joseph Papp has housed at the Public Theater for all of its nearly three-year existence.

("CIA Evaluations of Soviet Military Goals Causes Controversy Among Observers," Crimson, January 3, 1977). For while politics is not a strict science, it does have certain rules. One of these, the so-called First Law of Evidence, holds that you don't express opinions about matters you know nothing about. (I believe the same principle obtains in chemistry and physics). Now the incontrovertible fact is that neither Professor Kistiakowsky nor Professor Feld have ever seen, let alone read, the report...
