...peak of the 1969-70 activism. Though smaller, this number is still large enough to provide the initial spark for successful activist campaigns. Moreover, most of the Harvard left is centralized in the New American Movement, a group which eschews the fanatic factionalism of the most recent incarnation of SDS. Organizationally, the left is stronger than it has been since 1970. NAM conducted a wide range of activities this year, including support for the United Farmworkers lettuce boycott, a petition campaign against Harvard's Faculty hiring policy--which allegedly discriminates against radicals--and, Vietnam-America Friendship Week, a program...
Harvard's heavies also like to tab a community activist-type person. His obvious merits aside, Michael Ansara '67, one of the founders of Harvard SDS, is still too young to get the award...

Mrs. Kilbreth (a former student in Social Sciences 15) has produced a case in point, which The Crimson has obligingly published. (Would The Crimson be interested in a rebuttal from a student who learned something about I.Q. in Social Sciences 15?) Most of her errors -- and they are the familiar errors made by people who find the facts unsettling -- are dealt with specifically in my book I.Q. in the Meritocracy, and in the large scholarly literature cited therein...
