Neil Koblitz's letter concerning Harvard and the Rhodesian connection (May 21) is guilty of just the short-sightedness and "shocking display of cynicism and ignorance" he confers on the U.S. Senate and the Harvard Corporation.

Andrew J. Kahn '80, vice president of the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee, said yesterday that Cambridge's stand probably would not influence Harvard to boycott J.P. Stevens.
