...nominee, Frances FitzGerald '62, is a well-known and well-respected left-wing author. She is also a member of the editorial advisory board of The Nation, as solid a leftist credential as there is. And Sen. Gore is certainly no appeaser of apartheid. He voted last summer for particularly harsh sanctions against South Africa. That will certainly have more effect on conditions there than Harvard hemming and hawing and "taking a stand for the values of equality and freedom that we ostensibly hold sacrosanct...
