...Students for a Democratic Society, declared Columbia Provost David B. Truman last week, were deliberately "seeking a confrontation with the university." Thus Truman seemed to support the widespread notion that the wave of recent demonstrations and strikes at Columbia were all part of a conscious conspiracy. That is unlikely.

Perhaps because of his Air Force intelligence background, Janczewski has been the target of some suspicion at Penn, though Goddard insists: "He's definitely not a provost...
