...there be no doubt the recent events at Cornell [May 2] were a disaster for American education. A liberal school's administration and faculty, in a dramatic gesture given worldwide attention, bowed to the unreasonable demands of an armed minority led by a demagogue who threatened leading administrators and faculty members over a university-owned radio station and backed by a foolish mob of guilt-ridden, self-flagellating whites finding "institutionalized racism" behind every bush...
...difficult for most people to fathom why Fortas, an astute attorney and author of a recent book that begins "I am a man of the law," would so jeopardize his position. Yet it was not the first time.

...support from their nonmilitant colleagues in order to increase their own following and to achieve their basic purpose, which they acknowledge quite frankly is simply to extend "the movement." By this they mean to foster a revolution which they assume they are leading. They have been fairly successful in recent years in finding issues and so have gained not only tolerance but a great deal of active sympathy for themselves...
