Shils' remarks may be, as Government spokesmen charge, both intemperate and premature. But "Caesar's" reach is an object of concern throughout academia. "Governmental intrusion is a considerable and growing problem," says Stanford President Richard Lyman, 55, adding, "but curriculum and academic quality have not been seriously threatened."

Jackson doesn't believe this has happened and has no reason to think it will, but he conceded it is "conceivable."

In any event, guests of the School should not be put in the positions of having to speak under a name that may be anathema...
