...fact, coke is believed to be the drug most abused among women, outstripping Valium, which has come under fairly strict controls since the mid-1970s, when it was the No. 1 prescription drug. Under pressure from drug-abuse experts, Valium's manufacturer, Hoffmann-La Roche, has dramatically cut production of the drug, and many doctors have stopped prescribing it for simple anxiety. In 1975, 60 million prescriptions for Valium were written in the U.S., compared with 25 million in 1983. Says McEneaney: "Since two out of three Valium prescriptions are written for women, presumably many females who cannot...
...evidence that Mr. Lagon adduces to demonstrate left wing hegemony at Harvard is pathetic. Although leftists are alleged to so outnumber moderates and conservatives as to cow them into silence, Mr. Lagon can find but two names to cise. Professor Womack has spoken for himself: Professor Hoffmann, currently out of the country, cannot reply, so we feel obliged in come to his defense. He is charged both with being an "unremitting pacifist" and with leading the Government Department. The first accusation displays a pitiful disregard for the facts. Professor Hoffmann is so far from "unremitting pacifism" that he is willing...
...what way do these two individuals constitute a "monopoly"? If Mr. Lagon really has others in mind, surely any of them would have been a better example than Prof. Hoffmann. Any of the horde who force students to regurgitate knee-jerk radicalism" would do--unless Mr. Lagon is unable to find any. His accusations clearly make a mockery of themselves, or would, were it not for their overcomes. Faced with Mr. Lagon's tactics, how can one not call to mind Sen. Joe McCarthy's "discovery" of massive. Communist infiltration of the Departments of State and the Army...
...Lagon's criticism is also factually incorrect in a number of respects. Professor Hoffmann is described as an unremitting pacifist despite the clear statement in his book Duties Beyond Borders that "while I am not a pacifist...I have a strong belief that no war is very often better than war." In his letter of 8 March Prof. Womack has already rebutted the "false accusations" that he organised the Grenada demonstration, but it appears that Mr. Lagon considers even speaking at such a meeting to be inconsistent with a faculty position. At a gathering outside of his normal academic responsibilities...
...Harvard Republican Club obviously demonstrates the same casual attitude to facts as their error-prone party leader. Professor Womack has already corrected them about his role in a recent demonstration. Their assertions about Professor Stanley Hoffmann--who is away on leave this year and thus spared the task of correcting the Harvard Republicans' puerile inaccuracies--are equally false. First, Professor Hoffmann is not Chairman of the Government Department, as a glance at the course catalogue would have established. Secondly, he is not a "unremitting pacifist," as his recent book Duties Beyond Borders (p.10) explicitly states...
