...pulsar specialists, scientists from the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona and the Lick Observatory in California disclosed that Pulsar I not only sends out high-frequency radio signals every 1.3 seconds, but also gives off light flashes just about half as often. The conferees were beginning to ponder this new information when a tardy University of California astronomer, David Cudaback, still bleary-eyed from long nights at the Lick Observatory, arrived with word that the light flashes are inexplicably irregular: they speed up or slow down by as much...

The riddle of ends and means has become an old cliche, but its implicit moral dilemma is timeless and might serve well for teachers to ponder amid all that walking with lofty placards...
Drawing the line at Gordon's gift was a tactical rather than a rigidly logical decision then. And tactically it did make sense. SDS got Gordon's name and its charges against him onto the front pages of Boston papers. Administrators--at B.U. and elsewhere--may ponder the event as evidence of just how intensely students can care about the social implications of the University's financial policy, and how effectively they can obstruct a business transaction. The broad outlines of the affair might even inspire some of the reexamination of University neutrality SDS aims...
