Charles E. Garvin '74 and Greg A. Rosenbaum '74, debate team coaches, won Harvard's last national title in 1974. Garvin said yesterday that the two coaches' experience may have give this year's team an advantage, but "it would be presumptuous to say we knew more about the competition scene than they (the students...
...chaos has reached such a pitch that Boston is suing the Smithsonian and the Boston Athenaeum (a historic library that really owns the works) to prevent the sale. Ted Kennedy flew quickly into town (from Washington, a city he evidently wants to spend more time in) to say he doesn't want the paintings to go to Washington. (What's good enough for Ted isn't good enough, for George, evidently. George died without ever seeing the national capital he helped plan...
...vestigial hostilities are only one part of the strike's legacy. Students of the last decade say their experiences taught them new ways of looking at America's role in the world, and led them to conclude that Vietnam was not an isolated episode or an aberration in an otherwise pure history.

Fallows, for example, planned on being a journalist long before the strike. As The Crimson's president in 1969, he sought to keep "journalistic objectivity," a stand which he says earned him the label of conservative even among some of his fellow college reporters. Despite his attempt to keep distance between himself and the events around him--events which make him "glad to have been at college in 1969 instead of 1979, even though it was probably...
...activists who were students here ten years ago say they hope they left a heritage deeper than mere nostalgia for excitement. There are, they say, tactical lessons to be learned from that era. Ansara, for example, believes that SDS members among themselves wrongly downplayed the group's successes. "We denied our victory," he says. "We attacked our supporters for fear of being co-opted," he says. "I would love to do what we did then with the knowledge that we have now." Skip Griffin '70, then-president of the Harvard-Radcliffe Association of African and Afro-American Students, believes that...
