But it appears that Hall has not been very tactful or thoughtful in publicizing the changes or in dealing with those he has decided to oust or move. He admitted last week that, in announcing his decision on Roulliard, he could have "said things differently," especially in talking publicly to The Crimson...

Saraiva de Carvalho's true political ideas are something of a mystery. Most recently, he has associated himself with Portugal's ultraleftists and backed the creation of councils of workers and peasants that would express the will of the people and link them with the M.F.A.
