...president for administration, and Charles U. Daly, vice president for government and community affairs, joined the University administration in 1971, they made it clear to Bok that they expected to stay no longer than five years. They said they were strong believers in turnover--and very much against the pseudo-tenure that tends to develop when university administrators linger in one place too long.

...private conversations with newsmen and on secret minutes of his meeting with Israeli leaders. Although it was banned by censors, a revised edition was later approved. According to Golan, Kissinger criticized Israeli Foreign Minister Yigal Allon as lacking strength and imagination, called Defense Minister Shimon Peres "a pseudo hawk" who terrorized his colleagues, and dismissed Rabin as "too small a man for the job."

Especially telling are the rise of guru- and pseudo-liberation fads in the wake of the earlier protest's defeat, and of "decadence" at schools like Yale, where leaves of absence are at an all-time low; they signal most vividly a spiralling-off of individuals into private worlds within a corporate universe...
...marches, and prayer meetings, it is no less true that knowledge is most powerful tool in the hands of an oppressed people: "knowledge of the self, as well as knowledge of the enemy." What better place to gain that knowledge of the men who run America than in the pseudo-liberal halls of Harvard...
