...then. To worry was to be grown up; presumably, if one had been too young for fighting the good fight, one could now make up for it by worry or concern, and the more international the better, for this was an international-minded era. But worry was one thing, protest another. There was mightly little protest, neither by me, nor by any of my friends, nor (as far as one could tell) by anyone else in the country. And I think the reason was simply this: we had our watches wrong, we were mistaken as to time. We were...
...Democratic Center Union (U.C.D.), a center-right coalition of 15 groups, including Social Democrats, Christian Democrats and independents, is headed by Premier Adolfo Suárez, 44, who took over the faltering alliance last month and installed a number of his own loyalists as candidates. Some liberals quit in protest, and a number of former officials in the Franco regime came aboard. Because of this-and because of Suárez's own background as head of Franco's National Movement Party -critics charge that the coalition is "renovated Franquismo." The charge is not altogether fair however...

The resolution of these issues, however, need not be accomplished through protest rallies and Mass. Hall takeovers, as Ratner implies. The ACSR was set up in 1972 for the very purpose of bringing student, faculty, and alumni views into the management of Harvard's portfolio. If students in recent years have failed to use the ACSR effectively, they have none but themselves to blame...
...merely curious about Harvard's investment policies to seek me out or present a petition to the ACSR. As your undergraduate representative on the committee, it is I who am delegated with the authority to speak on your behalf. If you would but use this authority, takeovers and protest marches, such as those at Hampshire and Stanford, would become totally unnecessary. Carlton M. Smith...
