...Mansfields who gripe "there's too many Jews..." the Klitgaards who argue "blacks should attend lesser institutions than Harvard." But student protest has been primarily aimed, not at ideologues, but at those who strategize for and direct U.S. imperialist forces and their puppets in campaigns of mass murder. Jeane Kirkpatrick, Caspar Weinberger, Henry Kissinger, Jose Napoleon Duarte, etc., ad nauseum are war criminals, not academics! The U.S. ruling class (including the Harvard elite) is on a campaign to drape these butchers in academic robes and shove them down the throats of students in order to make mass murder "respectable," overcome...

In the Falklands crisis, however, our positions were irreconcilable-not because of any personal issue or special taste...
From Washington, I learned that the indiscipline that had vexed other diplomatic efforts was intensified. Mrs. Kirkpatrick was describing the progress and the meaning of the talks, about which she knew little, in a variety of public forums. She was acting out of a deep loyalty to her own principles and very intelligent opinions. The populist instincts of the White House staff, quick to adjust appearances to shifts in public mood and opinion, were the real cause of the problem...
