Despite all these considerations, however, the College remains the center of the University, and students are what the College is all about. The depth of misperception shown in Pusey's remarks reveal a need for re-ordering priorities at Massachusetts Hall. The President could greatly expand his contact with undergraduates by eating one lunch and one dinner per week in a College dining hall. Moreover, he could seize the initiative for student contact at appropriate times. For example, when SDS challenged him to debate University complicity in the Vietnam War, Pusey apparently looked upon this as an affront...
...GLANCE at the President's report will reveal the major cause of this shortcoming. Running Harvard University is a gigantic task. In the last ten years, Harvard's budget has tripled to $150 million. There were 14,779 students enrolled in the University last year, not counting 4840 in the summer school and 5469 in various extension courses.

As he sees it, writers are "liars" who continually try to hide the truth because it can drive men mad. So the reader is advised: "Let us all lie together, or surely we shall all lie alone." Fortunately, Fuentes is a natural-born "liar." and frequently skillful and imaginative enough to rivet the attention. Even his windy sales pitches from the existential soapbox are not without charm and vitality. It is as if Fuentes were more interested in the pitch...
