...parties demanded of Eshkol after the invasion. In a special parliamentary debate, Eshkol ticked off 14 major acts of sabotage carried out from Jordan in the past year, climaxed by a land-mine explosion that killed three Israeli troops on Nov. 12. "It is regrettable," said Eshkol, "that this particular act of aggression came from Jordan." But since it did, he picked Jordan as his target. "No country where the saboteurs find shelter and through whose territory they pass on their way to Israel can be exempt from responsibility...
...best actors to come through Harvard in years. Anderson and Lithgow suggested that the executive committee become self-perpetuating--that it choose its own new members--and that it alone be entrusted with selecting plays for mainstage production. In return for this concession to Faculty feelings (Chapman's in particular), the HDC was to pass on all Loeb productions, and its finances were to be regularly replenished through benefit performances...

But he never really managed it, and it is probably just as well. Art needs its tiny jewels as well as its grand masters...

This makes the decision not to debate a political one, motivated...
Thirdly, there is the matter of intellectual responsibility: the continuing obligation to analyze policy and insist on a confrontation of opposing viewpoints. It requires no particular political commitment to see that this Administration has been reluctant to confront its critics at any high intellectual level, or even to release some relevant facts. McNamara may not be the man best equipped to represent the current policy in a debate, but, once again, he is its most obvious symbol...
