...time the caucuses broke up from a lack of issues to discuss. "The caucuses faded when the only issue that seemed to remain was who was on each caucus," Walzer notes. Ten years later, both sides assert that current Faculty alignments do not reflect the old caucus divisions. But attitudinal differences still persist, and liberals and conservatives divide on the deep-seated causes and results of the strike. Liberals consistently emphasize the antiquated administrative and decision-making structure of the University, and believe the strike exposed these inadequacies. "It helped change a very archaic governance at Harvard--the place...
...events of April 1969 "shattered Harvard's consensus" and "left many wounds," as Pipes says, there is uncertainty over the extent to which those cleavages remain. Within the Faculty, a few professors may bear old grudges--but reaction to the Core Curriculum, for instance, has not broken down along the old "liberal" and "conservative" lines.

...rare occasions when former foes meet to discuss the strike, such as the commemorative forum at the Kennedy School last weekend, tensions remain apparent. Certainly the factionalism that existed within SDS, and the lack of cooperation between various anti-war groups, are among the reasons the New Left, like previous radical movements in America, failed to become a lasting, influential force. All sides admit to having made mistakes--but participants, on the whole, are satisfied that their position was correct. Many wonder aloud about how the groups could perhaps have cooperated more closely; privately, off the record, they describe their...
