...Spanish economy is undeniable. Bilbao is the "Pittsburgh of Spain"--and the government's long struggle to repress the separatist movement can be expected to continue.

Although Bressler himself was possibly the worst victim of faculty reaction against his first report, he cautions against bending a committee towards what the faculty may favor. "I don't think you ought to pre-judge" what the sentiment of the faculty is, he says...
