Richards, along with Catherine S. Corman '96, members of the week-old group "Strategic Offense," had come to protest the presence of Mansfield and Will on the Harvard faculty.

One-masters and two-masters crowd the site; the Manutea, a Greenpeace boat carrying journalists, heaves into view. French picket boats motor slowly at the line of the exclusion zone. A French jet labeled MARINE mock-strafes the boats one by one, diving from about 1,000 ft. to not more than 150 ft., then rising and diving again. Military helicopters buzz about, low enough...
