...alumni outrage against equal access has shown up in giving patterns. Although an occasional alumni writes an angry letter about how "Radcliffe is using up Harvard's" endowment, or that "Harvard is a men's school," Clifton says they are mostly "crazy stuff" and not representative of alumni sentiment. However, Susan F. Lyman '36, chairman of the Radcliffe Board of Trustees, said earlier this year that Radcliffe's $2 million drive for a scholarship fund fell $700,000 short of its goal, partially because of equal access...
...sentiment came naturally: Fraser is a veteran of the auto plants. Born in Glasgow, he came to the U.S. at six. Though his electrician father managed to work on and off through the Depression, Fraser recalls hopping aboard slow-moving railroad gondolas to knock off a few chunks of coal to carry home for heating.

We are told women and minorities have gained too much to the extent that "reverse racism" and affirmative...
Disillusionment set in as the outcome of the war necessarily fell short of expectations, and indeed as the one-sided nature of the peace required ever greater efforts to maintain it against countries with no stake in the settlement. A tide of isolationist sentiment rose, in which moral proclamations were coupled with an unwillingness to undertake concrete commitments. We were loath to face a world of imperfect security, alliances of convenience, recurrent crises and the need for a political structure that would secure the peace...
