Although the army's senior officers remain loyal to Franco and are fiercely antiCommunist, leftist ideas-perhaps as a result of the Portuguese experience -have apparently taken root among some younger officers. Last week three middle-ranking officers in Barcelona were arrested; they are suspected of having links with the Basque terrorists and with a Madrid underground cell of nine leftist dissidents who were charged with sedition and jailed three months ago. That kind of radicalization, if it spreads, does not promise an orderly political succession in the post-Franco era. Said a high government official last week...
Junk thought. No graduate of the Wharton School of Business ever pur sued his ambitions at IBM with as much single-mindedness. Mark had all the inverted status symbols: a trusty old Volkswagen, a loyal mongrel dog, a commune in a good neighborhood and a larder stuffed with choice grass and macrobiotic snacks.

Instead, many argue for the preservation of the status quo. But this constitutes a sanctification of Harvard's history including its errors. It would seem to me that loyalty to Harvard, an institution dedicated to "Veritas," should lead us rather to an impartial, critical attitude so that we may make it a better institution for all people...
