Iannell's proposals, of course, were not without critics. Mark DeWolf Howe '28, a leading expert on constitutional law and a professor at the Law School, complained that the bills "seek to destroy as an educational institution" any university that does not accept the legislature's criteria for teachers. Samuel H. Beer, Eaton Professor of the Science of Government, said he feared the bills would curtail free discussion of ideas and create an atmosphere of fear in the classroom. A Crimson editorial, calling the Iannell proposals "inherently unsound," claimed that universities can only function "when they are free...
November 28--Samuel L. Popkin, assistant professor of Government, is released after being jailed for five days in the Pentagon Papers case. Daniel Steiner '54, general counsel to the University, played what sources called a "highly significant" role in negotiations to free Popkin...

Leib delivers all the author's aphorisms and anecdotes in contemporary, but not vulgarly "updated," English; and a quick comparison between his version of Figaro's monologue and those of other translators--even that of such...
Frantic diplomatic efforts by the U.S. succeeded in persuading Israel to hold its fire in the dangerous, 72-hr, period after the Israelis discovered the missiles. By that time, Washington had prepared its own initiative to relieve the pressure on both Damascus and Jerusalem. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Samuel Lewis personally hand-carried a 1¼-page letter from President Ronald Reagan to Begin.

Begin interpreted the message as a continuing sign of U.S. sympathy for Israel's position on the missiles...
