...when you gentlemen complain that politics have ruined the Olympics, you overlook the fulfillment of a need which we all receive by accepting the political significance of the Games Recently, it is true, politics have dampened the sprit of the Olympics, and it's quite easy to accentuate such failures. But by doing this, you all ignore the political benefits which we can and do gamer from the Games. These benefits aren't as starkly noticeable as the failings which political association potentionally entails, but they are just as profound Isn't it soothing to know that the world...
...that the editorial was written with good intent, however, intent does not justify the editorial's oversimplifications and misperceptions. The Crimson editorial of May 3 begins. "Race Relations has not been among the College's biggest successes over the past decade or so." The editorial staff seems to conveniently overlook the fact that Harvard is praised for its relatively good race relations.

We should commend the College for its diligent work of the past twenty years towards this goal...
Perhaps the most deplorable aspect of Coleman's action was his utter insensitivity to the fact that breaking this confidence helped to accentuate the climate of danger that already surrounded Reverend Jackson.

They assumed that the Soviets and their East bloc allies were so eager to do well on America's home ground that they would overlook the fact that the U.S. boycotted the 1980 Moscow Games in protest against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Now, after a Soviet propaganda barrage against U.S. handling of the Games, there is less certainty about the decision. Even Peter Ueberroth, president of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, thinks...
...tougher in the short run, the long-run results will be worth it. And so the Medical Area Employees, whose hopes for a quick election and recognition were dashed, should take solace in the fact that an all encompassing bargaining unit will provide strength and support. Nor should they overlook the fact that organizing at the main campus too-as the recent events at Yale demonstrate-can mobilize overwhelming support from students...
