...addition to the proposed firings, the letter cited a number of other "violations of civil liberties" by Silber, including censorship of the student newspaper and radio stations, and the witholding of merit increases from faculty members who spoke out against...

...week later, Hyland began handing out a different story. Kissinger now claimed he "did not open anyone's mail," but had received a copy of the flyer from "a number of participants" who showed him their letters. Kissinger says now he "does not recollect" calling the FBI. How then does he explain the official evidence, which is stamped "Security Information" and printed on United States Government stationery? Hyland reports that Kissinger contends the FBI would never release such a memo about him to anyone else because the Freedom of Information Act only permits the release of records on a specific...

...Cambridge liberals should be smiling, but they're not. There is very little joy up and down Brattle St. or on the backroads of mid-Cambridge, where city progressives like to hang out. All that money, all that campaigning and all those liberal votes merely maintained the same number of progressives on the council.

If a strong attachment, personal perhaps, to one candidate can be combined with a weaker intellectual support for other progressives, the CCA may have found a new tactic...

Regarding student practice of the creative arts at Harvard, the less said the better. Apart from the very competent student orchestras who provide an audible museum of long-dead and mostly romantic composers, the picture is dismal. I attended a number of undergraduate theatricals and they were all terrible. The Lampoon and the Advocate are significantly worse than even most English university papers (and they are pretty bad!). Journalism on the other hand, which requires a mentality antithetical to that of the creative artist, flourishes. The Carpenter Center has made a noble attempt to get the visual arts...
