...along with the accompanying report on the CFIA-that one is ordinarily inclined to ignore, if only out of consideration for the author. Yet I don't think any of us here at Harvard can afford to ignore this kind of intellectual and moral atrocity in these times. Too much is at stake, and too many are ready to interpret silence as tacit sanction. The effect, if not the aim, of Mr. Hyland's writing is to soften up his readers for other assaults on the minds and freedoms of this community...
...Hyland is nothing less than candid. He spells out the strategy for us. "The Weatherman attack on the CFIA," he writes, "made the subsequent Guided Tour much more palatable." On that occasion, rudeness and insolence toward teachers, contemptuous flouting of the rights of fellow students, disorderly and potentially dangerous behavior-all things that would have been severely and properly punished-suddenly became acceptable. The victims of this abuse found solace in the thought that it could have been worse; and they were joined in this by their colleagues, who found further comfort in the hope or assumption that this kind...

S. rote in the hemisphere...
...concentrate on questions of tokenism, government financing, and many of the other issues raised in the Hyland-Vernon non-exchange would be to miss a fundamental point. The Center for International Affairs is not much different from most social science departments in the type of research and methodological outlook it encourages. Center research and policy advice is dominated by a tacit assumption pervasive among social scientists in general, namely that their role is to devise solutions to problems without overstepping the institutional and political confines of contemporary American society, and without violating our carbon copy image for what a good...
