Gorski, chief of University Police, has occupied center stage since contract negotiations between the two sides began last January, efforts to resolve the question have produced little progress. In the meantime, the 40 Harvard police officers who have been working without a contract since January 1 have not been able to advance their claims for increased salary and benefits...

In his philosophy, evil was to be endured as part of inevitable progress toward good. Sometimes, in fact, his optimism could overwhelm his apprehension of evil; once during a debate that covered the Nazi experiments at Dachau, he told an astonished audience that "man, to become fully man, must have tried everything to the very...
