...guest commentary appearing in The Crimson ("Defining Academic Freedom," Jun. 30, 1995), Alan M. Dershowitz strongly criticized Harvard Medical School's inquiry into Dr. John Mack's work with people who claim to have been "abducted" by alien creatures from outer space. He charged that Dr. Mack, a professor of psychiatry, was being investigated because of his unorthodox ideas and his choice of research topic. Mr. Dershowitz professed concern about the "chilling of academic freedom" resulting from the inquiry and he asked: "Will the next professor who is thinking about an unconventional research project be deterred by the prospect...
...Crimson's excellent story this week ("Letter Questions Work of 'UFO Dr.'," news story, Sep. 11, 1995) effectively refutes the notion that Dr. Mack was being criticized simply because he holds unconventional views.

The Democrats can offer only a cacophony of views, ranging from the leftist tract of Jackson to the more centrist perspectives of House minority leader Richard Gephardt of Missouri and Senate minority leader Tom Daschle. Clinton counselor Thomas "Mack" McLarty, relatively conservative, will stand in for the President...
Testifying before the Senate Whitewater panel, former Clinton Advisor David Gergen recalled that the President was "grief-stricken" upon learning of the suicide of his childhood friend Vincent Foster. Former White House chief of staff Thomas "Mack" McLarty told the committee the President was not informed of Foster's suicide note when it was found almost a week after his death...
