...then the conservatives who remind us of suffering in Afghanistan are equally guilty. The generalizations about all liberals made by The Crimson are partly groundless, partly ludicrous, and partly based on a small minority. There are thousands of students at Harvard. The majority voted for Mondale in the campus poll taken in 1984; they would be characterized as liberal by most observers. Of these thousands, only a small fraction have been involved in such incidents as throwing eggs and preventing free speech.

While Zschau has moved up fastest, "Undecided" still led the race in the same March poll, with 28%. The stumbling longtime front runner, with 14%, is Ed Davis, 69, a state senator and former Los Angeles police chief who once proposed that convicted hijackers be hanged in public view at airports. White- maned and barrel-chested, Davis is a man of considerable physical presence and selfighteousness. It was he who accused Fiedler of offering to pay off much of his campaign debt if he would drop out of the race. Fiedler was indicted on the charge, but a judge dismissed...
