Some blacks at Harvard, though, do not agree with Guinier's view. Kilson insists that any racism that may be present is "not fundamental" and "is essentially residual." Orlando Patterson, professor of Sociology, also agrees that there is no organized discrimination against qualified blacks...
...holder who spent six years in a North Vietnamese P.O.W. camp, seemed to threaten Senator George McGovern at the outset, but faded as the campaign wore on. In California, 32-year-old Republican David Rehmann, six years a P.O.W., lost his bid for Congress to Santa Ana Mayor Jerry Patterson. In Georgia, Republican Quincy Collins, 43, an ex-Air Force colonel and a seven-year P.O.W., battled Democrat Larry McDonald for a seat in Congress and lost. Maine Democrat Markham L.

Professor Patterson has said that the department is a "concentration camp." This is an outright slander which Professor Patterson has never seen fit to correct publicly.
