Moffett himself concedes it would be hard to enforce and, in fact, is difficult to draft in proper language. But he adds: "It's a choice between this and three-mile lines at the gas stations and shootouts at the pumps, California style...
...conclusion, I reiterate the feeling of many students: Harvard University does not serve society on a medieval model, remaining aloof from its conflicts and problems. I do not ask the University to decide unilaterally whether or not the Stevens boycott is the morally proper course.

Marie-France Pisier performs most of the heavy dramatics; she gives her Colette a certain desperation well-suited to a woman lawyer unable to get clients and reduced to turning tricks...
