Science has itself contributed to the creation of that state machinery which now makes the enterprise of science hazardous. It has done so because it has lacked responsibility for its growth. It is too late now to fall back on the platitudes of academic freedom; no biochemist can be sure that in pursuing the structure of an enzyme he is not perfecting a lethal form of warfare...
Every so often a few activists get together, talk to some sympathetic Faculty members, and organize apathetic students to press for changes in Harvard's rules and procedures. Sometimes, as in the case of the parietals extension late last year, this works quite well. More impressive, because it concerned political matters. Collective student pressure--mobilized through a petition circulated in the spring of 1966--helped force the Faculty to make a surprising, if futile, attempt to take a position on the military draft last winter...

The set it put together, even forgetting the incredibly short notice it had for last night's performance, was remarkable. So were the uniformly clever and colorful costumes. This being a commedia dell'arte with updated themes and references...
