...shabby history of hypocrisy and paternalism in hiring tenured faculty for the department. Between 1968 and 1971 on average one black professor was tenured each year, but in the cooled-off political climate following 1971 Harvard has felt obliged to tenure only one additional black professor (Eileen Southern). And out of this total of five, Afro has been given only one and a half. In the dastardly rejection of the eminently qualified and world-renowned African scholar E. Isaacs, who taught for six years (including half of all students taking Afro courses in 1971), the Harvard administration acted in racist...

The failure of those efforts is particularly bad news, since the non-aligned summit amounts to a Third World caucus on the eve of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly.

Little was known of their fate until last week when Peking, hoping for aid from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, allowed a group of U.S. journalists to visit the refugee resettlement areas in southern China. Among the first Americans to be granted entry was TIME Correspondent Richard Bernstein. His report...
...planning and planting of her garden in southern Maine that she found her deepest satisfaction. Like all serious gardeners, she was no April-to-September hobbyist. Her first magazine piece was written in February, the "season of lists and callow hopefulness" when hundreds of thousands of true gardeners are reading their catalogues and "dreaming their dreams." This month she would have been planning her spring bulb garden, ordering indoor plants for the winter and putting down fertilizer for the snows to drive into the soil...
