Like overcrowding on the undergraduate level, the lack of highly qualified graduate students is not only a local problem. Graduate schools all over the country are facing the same situation, with the important difference that many other institutions have increased in size, and taken a loss in quality, while Harvard has not.

For Mendès-France and his followers, however, the change seems a way to upset party strangle holds and prepare the way to the new "grouping of the left" which Mend...
