...using quotations from Kenan Professor of Government Harvey C. Mansfied '53 as the appeared in The Crimson. In the flyer, we noted that Mansfield believes that blacks cause grade inflation and that their presence at Harvard is dubious.

Mansfield's comments do not offer dialogue with black students or faculty, as many blacks in the government department secretly agree, silent in fear of reprisals.

"Everything Microsoft is building is linked to ole," says Jerry Michalski, editor of the newsletter Release 1.0. "Everywhere you look there are these dependencies...
...attack on science is taking place on two fronts--one direct, the other indirect. The direct attack is an attempt to render science subjective and hence to place it on equal ground with the rest of the disciplines which have already been infected by post-modernism's ideas. The indirect attack is aimed at diverting funds from scientific research to the humanities, which are already in the clutches of post-modernism...
