Apparently, however, the University Administration feels differently. From the comments attributed to the understandably anonymous source quoted in yesterday's CRIMSON, I infer that May 2nd stands accused of a crime lying halfway between unHarvard activities and lese majeste. And in one of the most spectacular displays of semantic perversion since 1984, this accusation is justified as a defense of "academic freedom...
...pictures, compared with fewer than 200 meteor craters that can still be seen on Earth. - The planet's pock-marked surface, judging by what is already known of the moon's face, must be ancient-perhaps 2 billion to 5 billion years old-and well preserved.

To infer that government now has a duty to cut them may well force the court to later confront unnecessarily painful questions, including the constitutionality of tax exemption for churches. Such future troubles could have been avoided, critics say, had the court arrived at the same school decisions by a somewhat different route...
