...Secretary of War Weinberger '38 and Presidents' Botha of South Africa. Bok says students should sit quickly and listen politely to these butchers and then--maybe--ask few questions at the end. This comes in the wake of the statement made by some faculty Council members that Adolf Hitler himself would be welcome to come to Harvard and "speak freely in favor of anti-Semitism." (Crimson. 5 April 1983). Harvard's idea of an "oasis of free speech" is nothing but a cesspool for the "Who's Who in Mass Murder," the architects of death squads, racist terror...
Putting cruelty first, however, can kill a book--let alone the faith of the political theorist writing it. "Where next?" we might wonder--despairingly. Shklar doesn't give in so easily.

When I told her that this image was completely erroneous, she replied, 'But that is what our television commentators tell us.' " For the cover image, Photographer Brian Alpert took a rare picture of Gromyko inside the Soviet mission in New York City, a building that few outsiders...
...need for contacts with the U.S. appeared two weeks ago in their domestic press and on the TASS foreign wire. In a historical analogy that would be hard to decipher anywhere outside the Soviet Union, the state media sought to justify Moscow's infamous 1939 nonaggression pact with Hitler as an attempt to avert a world war, and pointedly added that the lessons of that period were pertinent. Only an audience that has heard and read almost daily allusions to Reagan as a power-mad ideologue intent on crushing the Communist system would recognize the editorial as Moscow...
