...inarguable that the editorial was written with good intent, however, intent does not justify the editorial's oversimplifications and misperceptions. The Crimson editorial of May 3 begins. "Race Relations has not been among the College's biggest successes over the past decade or so." The editorial staff seems to conveniently overlook the fact that Harvard is praised for its relatively good race relations. Minorities flock to Harvard because of its open environment which gives minorities an opportunity to fully participate in college life. We should commend the College for its diligent work of the past twenty years towards this goal...
...leave the slumping steel business only three months ago. At the time, it agreed to sell its steel operations for $575 million to U.S. Steel, the industry's leader. But that deal collapsed in March because of antitrust problems in Washington. Says National Chairman Howard Love: "Our original intent was not to get out of steel, but to find a world-class partner who would allow us to stay in it very successfully...
Despite these strengths, however, the 15-page statement suffers from several significant oversights.

Bartley alone failed to get the name of Syria's President (Hafez Assad). Republican Elliot Richardson, a former Secretary of Defense, estimated the military's share of the budget (28%) at just 7.5%. All seven Democrats were stumped by the toughest questions they were asked: the amount...
...persuade the President and his staff that this was so. On Dec. 29, the President announced a List of sanctions against the U.S.S.R. and suspended the issuance of licenses for "an expanded List of gas and oil equipment." An official of the Commerce Department went beyond the Letter and intent of the President's policy, interpreting it as being retroactive. Inexplicably, the Administration accepted this bureaucratic fiat. This meant that the sanctions applied equally to items manufactured abroad by subsidiaries of American companies or under American License...
