...current marijuana legislation is not a joke. Dope laws are used selectively to punish political "criminals" like John Sinclair, a White Panther leader who has been locked away for several years on a very minor marijuana offense. The New York Times reports the suicide during a bust of an Alabama student who faced jail on a second marijuana offense. Sitting in our dorms it is often difficult to remember that thousands of other Americans are sitting in jail for committing the "crime" of getting stoned with their friends...
...find the notion that a university or one of its units might "punish" a member because of political differences to be completely reprehensible. We are happy, therefore, that the Department of Government and various members of the Harvard community have laid to rest any speculation that your colleagues have such political punishment in store for you.

Millett maintains that the novel's hero Rojack kills his wife to punish her for committing sodomous adultery. But Mailer insists (and who after all, should know better than he?) that the crime was not in fact, sodomy, but analingus. Academic perhaps, but indicative to Mailer of a mind that hedges the niceties of distinction, a mind that abandons evidence in the pursuit of thesis...
...student discipline at Harvard-Radcliffe in recent years shows us, above all, is the utter untruth of the myth that this University is a community of different people with a common interest-such as "the pursuit of truth." All the administration's and Faculty's efforts to punish students for political action have been founded on the premise of "academic community." The Faculty Resolution on Rights and Responsibilities defines the "central functions of an academic community" as "learning, teaching, research, and scholarship," and authorizes the CRR to deal with charges of interference with certain "values" which protect and nurture these...
