And yet in its crisis Israel behaved with stoic endurance. Golda, who had bitterly fought every concession, sent Dinitz to my suite to reaffirm her deep commitment to the success of the negotiations.

...general, we continue to urge the divestiture of all Harvard's holdings in South Africa. In particular, we urge the Corporation and the ACSR to reaffirm the doctrine of not directly supporting the South African authorities in any of their policies. If the Corporation goes back on the promise delivered in the spring of 1978, we hope students have conviction enough to once again take their case to the streets, the only place where they have ever had any effect...
