...court last week, the prosecution laid out an impressive case. Prosecutor Theodore Greenberg elicited the most damaging testimony from Wilson's former associates. His girlfriend and manager of his Geneva office, Roberta Barnes-code-named "Wonder Woman" in the operation-said that Wilson did send the U.S. Government information about Libyan plans to build an atomic bomb, but only after he was already under indictment. Peter Goulding, another former aide, testified that Wilson had threatened to kill Goulding's wife if Goulding returned to the U.S. and cooperated with investigators. He also entertained the jury with a vivid...
Most of us are wrong sometimes; Mr. Kenyatta makes a habit of it. Michael Dorniag's article remarks, for example, that Mr. Kenyatta "says the liberal civil rights establishment--and he counts [Julius] Chambers and [Jack] Greenberg among its members--is pushing busing policies on Whites and Blacks that neither of them want." First, it is incorrect that most adult Blacks oppose busing, but it is correct that most Whites do. A Gallup survey in 1980 found 82 percent of Whites opposed to busing, but 67 percent of Blacks favored busing. But data on Whites who experienced busing show...
Kenyatta recently gained prominence in the Harvard community as an organizer of a nationally controversial boycott of a Law School civil rights course. The boycott protests the assignment of Jack Greenberg, director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, as co-instructor of "Racial Discrimination and Civil Rights."

...president of the Black Law Students Association (BLSA), Kenyatta has been an active spokesman for the boycott both inside and outside Harvard. Minority groups chose him last spring to write a letter explaining the boycott to Greenberg and Chambers. Law School Dean James Vorenberg sent a copy of that letter, along with a draft containing his own anti-boycott stance, to law students over the summer. The national media also obtained copies of the letter and quoted from it in articles about the boycott, most of which criticized the boycotting student for what one columnist called "banal ethnocenricism...
...says the liberal civil rights establishment--and he counts Chambers and Greenberg among its members--is pushing busing policies on whites and Blacks that neither of them want. "It we could get the civil rights establishment to pay as much attention to getting quality education for everyone as it has paid to these elaborate and unsuccessful busing plans, I think it would be a step forward for everybody," Kenyatta says...
