...strongest statements are those of Upton Sinclair, published first in 1923. Sinclair had no fanciful illusions in regard to the real function of the universities and colleges. Inevitably, he saved his strongest words and deepest vehemence for Harvard. We are told of Harvard, by its loyal friends, he says, that it is liberal in its educational policies: Is it liberal also in the policies by which it governs its investments? "Do you suppose," he asks, "the votes of...Harvard...are...for policies of justice and democracy in enterprises it exploits?" If you suppose that, he replies, you are naive...
After the election, Ford became Nixon's most loyal supporter in Congress, even on the most controversial issues, such as the nominations of Clement Haynsworth and G. Harrold Carswell to the Supreme Court. "The President and I always have had a high identity philosophically," Ford told TIME Correspondent Neil MacNeil the night of his selection.

He is thus viewed as a loyal robot unable to make moral distinctions, while at the same time Sack tells us about Calley's intelligence and honor. Few readers are likely to swallow such contradictions. Despite Sack's intent to exculpate Calley, the My Lai triggerman (still confined to base at Fort Benning) comes across...
...that the tasks he sets before the Mexican students in this speech can be accomplished. This belief, that educated people need not and should not abandon those upon whose bent and broken lives their successes are built, appears even stronger in retrospect, after Allende's tragic death. He remained loyal to his convictions until the end. One only wishes his fellow Chilean doctors had shared his sense of compassion and understanding...
