...Cubans tried to pass themselves off as mulattoes from the Cape Verde Islands-a flimsy charade since they speak Spanish, not Portuguese.) The Portuguese government, though nominally neutral in the struggle, has also leaned toward the M.P.L.A., partly because M.P.L.A. Leader Neto is a longtime friend of Admiral Antonio Rosa Coutinho, who openly supported the group when he was Portugal's Angolan high commissioner...
Several primarily symbolic steps are important. The University should fight sub rosa bias against Radcliffe, whether it is failure to place books on reserve in Hilles or creation of only "Quad" sections when each River House gets its own section. Harvard should enforce its system for freshmen dining on weekends instead of looking the other way when freshmen assigned to the Quad eat at the River Houses.

Recently the admiral proposed that a new political party be organized from the ranks of all the leftist parties, including both the Communists and the Socialists-and the general said it would be even better to bar the parties' existing leaders from "getting in the way." As part of the process of establishing direct ties with the people, the military assembly discussed proposals...
