Then last week, in an extraordinary front-page mea culpa, the New York Times set about refurbishing Kerry's reputation. Headlined "New Evidence Backs Ex-Envoy on His Role in Chile," a 2,300-word article by former Times Investigative Ace Seymour Hersh, who still does occasional freelance pieces for the paper, reported that although attempts had been made by the CIA to engineer a military takeover in Chile, "none of this, it is now evident, was known to Ambassador Korry."

...series has its share of crafty scene stealers (Warren Gates, Lloyd Bridges, Soon-Teck Oh) and shameless scenery chewers, including Timothy Carey, Nicholas Pryor and Jane Seymour as Adam's soulless wife Cathy. There is one wonderful actress: Karen Allen as Cal's girl Abra...
Being an old-fashioned integrationist and an optimist about the capacity of the current generation of young Americans to rid American life of its hoary racist ways, I would suggest to the Seymour Society that they give some thought to this endeavor. Instead of pursuing the route of other all-Black organizations existing at Harvard--and we have too many already--intensifying the already excessive isolation of white and Black student experiences here, why not strike out a new course for once...
There are, I am told, other fundamentalist or back-to-basic religious groups around Harvard--among white Protestants and white charismatic Catholics, and perhaps among some white Muslims and Jews. It would be a bold undertaking to use the Seymour Society as the cutting-edge of a back-to-basic renascence among religiously inclined Harvard students, cutting across the racist, sexist, and ethnocentric boundaries that have for so long distorted the civilizing force of religious values in American life...
This, I submit, is both an intellectually intriguing and humanistically engaging task for the new Seymour Society to set for itself. It would give Black students the opportunity to innovate a way out of the awful malaise that has surrounded Black-white interactions at Harvard for a decade--a malaise that has exacted a terribly intellectual toll among some of our Black students. It would, in turn, offer white students a framework to testify in behalf of a more cosmopolitan interchange among Harvard students, defying the racist and ethnocentric boundaries bequeathed them by earlier generations.
