...letter to the editor written by Jarrett N. Blanc '97 (May 10) completely misunderstood the purpose and significance of the April 25 non-disruptive protest of Kenan Professor of Government Harvey C. Mansfield's '53 recent editorial, belittling the effort by calling it "intellectualy hollow." If Mr. Blanc "often disagrees" with Mansfield's views on the issues at hand, we hope that he has taken the time to debate his views with Mansfield.

...surprised that Kenan Professor of Government Harvey C. Mansfield Jr. '53 is once again the subject of controversy regarding his statements about race and Harvard.

...however, they have become catch words used to grab the attention of readers, and they may have begun to lose their power. One can hardly turn the pages of a newspaper without seeing several headlines concerning race. President Neil L. Rudenstine's annual report was about diversity at Harvard, Kenan Professor of Government Harvey C. Mansfield Jr. '53 is in the news about his views on blacks at Harvard, "Diversity and Distinction" is a monthly campus publication, and since the O.J. Simpson murder trial, race and justice (or the lack of it) have become inextricably linked words. In many ways...
