...other topics kept the Faculty from even discussing a docketed motion by Bruce Chalmers, Master of Winthrop House. Chalmers's motion said that the Faculty "holds that controversial questions...can and must be resolved by discussion," and that the Faculty "would regard as unacceptable any attempt to obstruct normal University activities and procedures...whatever the motives...
...discomfort of speaking into blinding television lights at Sanders Theater. Gardner, a busy man these days at the Urban Coalition, reportedly wanted a time-saving method of giving the lectures and television provided that too. At the same time, though, one can easily guess what the response of a normal group of Harvard students and Faculty would have been to Gardner's comparison of Marcuse's disciples to the businessmen who supported Hitler or his line that "protest has become a disorderly game for 12-year-olds."

He kept a wonderful cat whom he immortalized under the preposterous name of Foss, as magical a literary companion in its way as Dr. Johnson's Hodge or Christopher Smart's Jeoffrey. He had enduring friends, including Tennyson and a man called Chichester Fortescue, a real name that sounds like a Lear invention. Lear's peregrinations over 30 years ranged from Calais to the coast of Coromandel, a course which enabled him to work at his art-essentially the trade of providing souvenirs of the Grand Tour...
