Last April, Pinochet privately assured Raul Cardinal Silva Henriquez, the Archbish op of Santiago, that "things would improve." A conference of the country's bishops agreed to say nothing about the torture of political dissidents. Things seemed to improve somewhat.

Faculty members muse publicly, as A. Bartlett Giametti did last week on the New York Times Op-Ed page, about a "relentless, pervasive tension about work." Yale students claim to work as much as 50 or 60 hours a week outside of classes. The Yale Daily News recently conducted a telephone survey of Yale and Harvard students in order to determine who worked harder. The outcome was preordained...
